Fox Knives Metamorphosis G10 OD-Green – Böhler M390 – Radius Lock

The Fox Knives Metamorphosis is a technical masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of modern Italian knife design. This model combines the exceptional performance of Böhler M390 powder-metallurgical steel with the revolutionary Radius Lock system. Designed for the demanding EDC user, the Metamorphosis offers a unique blend of mechanical innovation, an extremely sharp Wharncliffe geometry, and the tactical reliability of G10.

The construction of the Metamorphosis is focused on extreme wear resistance and mechanical precision:

- Steel type: The blade is made from Böhler M390 Microclean. This steel ranks among the very best in the world due to its exceptional corrosion resistance and a hardness of 60 HRC, ensuring that the edge remains exceptionally sharp even with intensive use.
- Blade shape: A Wharncliffe profile with a fully straight edge. This shape is superior for precision work and controlled cutting tasks, with the powerful tip ideal for piercing materials.
- Locking mechanism: Equipped with the innovative Radius Lock. This technically advanced system operates via a rotating mechanism integrated into the handle. It combines the safety of a fixed lock with the intuitive ease of use of a push-button.
- Opening: Thanks to the thumb stud and high-quality bearings, the knife opens with a quick, smooth motion.
- Finish: The blade features a refined satin finish, which provides a subtle sheen and makes scratches less visible than on a mirror-polished blade.

This model stands out for its ergonomic balance and unique operation:

- Superior Grip: The OD-Green G10 handle features an excellent texture that ensures a secure grip in all weather conditions. G10 is also virtually unaffected by temperature changes and moisture.
- Innovative Operation: The Radius Lock allows you to fully open and close the knife with one hand, keeping your fingers out of the blade’s path at all times.
- Refined Hardware: The spacers and hardware are crafted from AISI 303 stainless steel and black G10, ensuring a solid, vibration-free construction and a high-quality aesthetic.
- Optimal Carrying Comfort: Weighing 125 grams and featuring a reversible pocket clip (tip-up), the knife is discreet and comfortable to carry for everyday use.

For long-term reliability of this premium tool, we recommend the following:

- Keeping it sharp: M390 steel is very hard. For blade maintenance, we recommend diamond whetstones or ceramic sharpening systems to effectively work with the 60 HRC hardness.
- Mechanism: Keep the rotating Radius Lock mechanism free of sand and dust. A drop of dry lubricant on the bearings keeps the action smooth and fast.
- Cleaning: Although M390 is extremely rust-resistant, it is advisable to rinse the knife with fresh water and wipe it dry after contact with acids or salt water.
- Storage: Use the included deluxe nylon sheath for safe transport when you are not carrying the knife directly on your belt or in your pocket.

The Fox Knives Metamorphosis G10 OD-Green is a technically superior folding knife that stands out for its mechanical innovation and choice of materials. The combination of virtually indestructible M390 steel and the secure Radius Lock makes this one of the most advanced EDC knives on the market. The objective assessment is that, thanks to its excellent balance and Italian craftsmanship, the Metamorphosis is a superior investment for both the professional user and the serious collector.
