The Fox Knives Suru Black Ti, Carbon, Herringbone Balbach Damast is a premium everyday carry (EDC) folding knife designed by Jesper Voxnaes, renowned for its compact yet robust design and high-quality materials. Featuring a 2.3-inch blade crafted from Balbach Damast® Herringbone Damascus steel, this knife showcases a striking herringbone pattern, offering both aesthetic appeal and exceptional performance with a hardness of 60-62 HRC. The blade’s near-full flat grind and “Big Belly” clip point design ensure efficient cutting and precision for daily tasks. The handle combines black camo carbon fiber with a titanium frame lock, enhanced by black PVD-coated titanium screws and a pocket clip, providing a lightweight yet durable grip weighing approximately 2.7 ounces. Its compact size (3.5 inches when closed) and smooth flipper action make it a favorite among EDC enthusiasts, earning it the “Overall Knife of the Year” award at Blade Show 2018.
Crafted in Maniago, Italy, by Fox Knives, the Suru exemplifies Italian craftsmanship with meticulous attention to detail and cutting-edge production techniques. The use of Balbach’s DSC® Superclean technology ensures a contaminant-free Damascus steel blade, offering superior edge retention and corrosion resistance suitable for demanding tasks. The ergonomic design, with a finger choil and thumb hole, enhances user comfort and control, while the titanium framelock mechanism, a reliable design pioneered by Chris Reeve, ensures secure blade deployment. Presented with a storage pouch and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this knife is ideal for collectors and users seeking a blend of functionality and elegance. Its limited availability and individual serial numbering further elevate its appeal as a high-end EDC tool.
