Fox Knives

The Chilin knife carries forward the legacy of the renowned Shilin knives, whose origins trace back to 19th-century China and the prestigious Chiu family. These handmade masterpieces symbolized unmatched craftsmanship, with production secrets closely guarded and passed down through select artisans. When these artisans later migrated to Taiwan, they brought this revered tradition with them. Over time, however, the knowledge and skill required to craft Shilin knives became scarce, as many families ceased production, leaving a void in this ancient art.

Inspired by the heritage of Shilin knives, the Chilin knife embodies the same dedication to craftsmanship and excellence. Every aspect, from the selection of premium materials to meticulous handcrafting, reflects a commitment to superior performance and durability. The Chilin knife stands as both a functional tool and a tribute to the enduring artistry and history of Shilin knives.

Bohler N690 Steel

The cobalt-alloyed N690 by Bohler (not to be confused with the lower-grade N695) is a very reliable upper middle-grade steel used for a wide variety of projects. The fine-grained N690, which ranks above 440C, offers convincing performance data in all areas. It is often sold as N690Co – the "Co" stands for cobalt and describes the exact same steel.
