FOXFX612BLB: FX-612BLB Core Tanto - Blue
Fox Knives
A versatile design from Jesper Voxnaes, the Core by Fox Knives gets the job done with a broad 3.15" tanto blade of premium N690 steel. The black stonewashed-finished blade features dual-opening options with either the blade cutout or flipper tab. When open, the flipper tab lines up with a groove for the index finger, providing protection to keep your hand from sliding forward. At the same time, a liner lock keeps the blade from closing when you don't want it to. The FRN handles sport a geometric pattern and provides traction, while a ridged backspacer adds contrasting texture. A deep-carry wire clip can be set up for right or left-handed carry and keeps the knife in your pocket in a tip-up configuration for ready deployment. The Core can excel in a wide range of applications. It is small enough to carry every day and the open-backed construction makes it easy to keep clean. Outdoorsmen will also appreciate the large belly on the blade while on the hunt or roaming the woods.
Böhler N690 Steel
The cobalt-alloyed N690 by Böhler (not to be confused with the lower-grade N695) is a very reliable upper-middle-grade steel Fox uses 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.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening
Cons: Handle Feel, Pocket Clip
Sharp, Fun - Tough Left Handed
It is big folder that doesn't feel that way. It is pretty thin and lightweight. The wire clip makes it easy to get in and out of my pocket. The blade arrived very sharp. The flipper was a little stiff right out of the box but broke in very quickly.The handle looks like its going to be pretty grippy, but unfortunately, it is very slick. I and left handed and I generally an looking for a knife that is easily made lefty. With this knife all I had to do was flip the clip around. when I removed the screw from the clip and had to push the pin out and flip it around. The pin was stuck and I had to basically beat it out. I didn't remove it all the way and slipped the wire clip under the pin. Which is okay except the head of the pin does not hold the pocket clip as tighly as the screw head. Even so, I plan on having the knife in my pocket a significant amount of time.
