FOX Veleno D/E Knife OD Green G10, Black Top Shield N690Co (FX-596 G10 OD AF)

Veleno Double Edged OD Green G10, Black Top Shield, a dagger with a symmetrical sharp blade on both sides, resembles a knife that Fox made on behalf of the G.I.S. (Gruppo d'Intervento Speciale), a special operational / anti-terrorist group of the Italian Carabinieri. The design is aimed at those looking for a full-fledged field tool, which will perform well both in operational tasks and in outdoor conditions, where reliability is not an option - but a necessity. The design clearly emphasizes technical character and endurance potential, subordinating every element to field practice. At the heart of the knife is a symmetrical dagger blade made of N690Co steel, known for its high corrosion resistance, good sharpness retention and durability under heavy use. The Black Top Shield coating reduces reflections and increases the durability of the working surface. This is a blade designed not for show - but for consistent, repeatable functionality. The G10 composite handle is contoured for full gloved grip and operation in harsh environments. The textured surface and pronounced crossguard enhance handling safety, while the rear extension aids control for power techniques. The whole is complemented by a leather sheath, allowing quick access and safe carrying of the knife. Veleno is a tool with tactical pedigree and operational readiness, designed with professionals in mind.

N690Co - cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - extremely slender with a Dagger shape with a double-edged symmetrical blade. The blade was coated with a black, non-reflective coating Top Shield®. The blade was derived with a Flat grind for excellent cutting and especially penetration properties. On both sides closer to the Handle a sawtooth blade with fine serrations. At the base of the blade double finger guard crossguard on both sides to protect the hand from slipping on the blade.

Handle - made of high quality G10 composite. Provides lightness and ergonomic shape improves a secure grip especially with wet hands. The head with an enlarged oval hole (lanyard hole) that allows you to pull a lanyard or safety line, can act as a glass striker.

Sheath - made of high quality leather, with an eye for hanging on the belt. The leather strap fastened with a snap lock secures the knife from falling out. In the lower part a hole for threading a thigh cable.
