Fox FKMD Predator II

Yes, the Predator II features a secondary manual safety in addition to its primary liner lock. By sliding the red tab located near the thumb pivot forward, a small piece of metal is inserted between the liner and the handle, preventing the lock from disengaging and providing extra security during heavy-use scenarios.

The Predator II series offers several configurations, including utilitarian drop point and tanto blade shapes. Depending on the model, the blades are made from either N690Co or Niolox steel, both of which are known for their corrosion resistance and edge retention.

These knives use injection-molded FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handles. Despite their lightweight construction, they feel substantial in the hand because they are built with full-length stainless steel liners that provide structural rigidity and housing for the locking mechanism.

While the Predator II is built for tactical and heavy utility tasks, it is still a folding knife. The secondary locking safety provides extra reassurance for heavy cutting, but it is not intended for extreme tasks like batoning wood, which could damage the pivot or locking mechanism.

The series features a folded-over pocket clip designed for secure carry. While it is not a 100% deep-carry clip—a small portion of the handle remains visible above the pocket—it maintains a low profile. It also includes a hidden lanyard attachment point at the back of the handle for users who prefer additional retrieval options.
