Fox Knives FX-140XL MB fixed knife, Markus Reichart design

Wow what a knife! Delivery was rapid too especially as it came from a different country. So delighted with the knife and service that I ordered another knife moments ago. My new go to store! In regards to the knife itself. Absoluteky stunning design and hair shaving sharp out the box, extremely comfortable and well balanced. Handle is incredibly comfortable and the sheath is very good looking. It is my first time using Niolux steel but so far after a quick field test it has held up the same as my elmax bark river so that's a very good testament to the steel and heat treatment. The free fox sharpener was a nice added bonus which I thought would just get chucked in a drawer but when I opened jt, I realised it is a very functional field sharpener which was a very pleasant surprise. A couple of complaints I have about the sheath is that the button is very tight so have to really stretch it to get it to close and also the leather that the popper is attached to can get in the way when sheathing the knife and if not careful could end up slicing off, especially with how sharp the knife is. I will most probably replace it with a custom made kydex one just for ease of use All in all I am delighted with both the knife and the service and will purchase many more knives from these guys.
