Product detailed description
In 1986-87, I came up with the ATCF concept, based on my experience with military and security personnel in Central America and the United States, says successful designer Bob Terzuola. My goal was to create a unique knife that would combine lightness, strength, easy accessibility, and the convenience of carrying it in various places on the garment. At the same time, I wanted it to be corrosion resistant, easy to open and close with both hands and one hand. The ATCF was the first tactical knife to be assembled using only screws, not pins and rivets. I also invented the thumb stud for easy two-handed opening, which has become a popular feature not only on the ATCF, but on many other knives around the world. Another innovation was the use of a checkerboard ramp on the top of the blade that matched the finger guard on the underside of the handle when the blade was closed, providing protection and a comfortable grip when using the knife. A pocket clip then allowed the knife to be accessible in various positions on the body. The ATCF became one of the most copied knife shapes in the world and shaped an entire industry. As I like to say, "The ATCF is a classic shape that changed the game!".

The now world-famous FoxKnives company was founded in 1977 as a logical continuation of the development of Oreste Frati's company, which was originally involved in the development of knives that were sold under other brands. The manufacturer uses only premium quality stainless steel, and G-1o, FRN and other quality components for the handles.
FOX Knives has developed very quickly into one of the world's largest manufacturers, but Mr. Oreste still runs it personally. Years of manufacturing tradition and technological innovation have helped build the company's name into a leading position. FOX Knives was certified and registered as an official weapons supplier to NATO in 2008. Also in 2008, Euro Knives Italia srl was founded, a company specialized in the production of high quality knives for major international brands.
In 2009, the manufacturer opened an office in the USA, following the demands of customers in the USA as one of the most important knife markets in the world. The new US subsidiary will work not only to establish the FOX brand in the US, but also to produce for the civilian and military markets where our product is known and valued.
