147,49 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Fox Suru Brown Cellulose Acetate FX-526LI RB3 – an elegant M398 steel EDC folder
Fox Suru FX-526LI RB3 is a compact folding knife designed by Jesper Voxnæs, combining the functional form of an EDC knife with refined Italian design. Its slim profile, Drop Point blade, and brown cellulose acetate grips give this model a distinctly elegant character.
The model features a Liner Lock, a reversible clip, and a design optimized for comfortable everyday carry. The blade’s satin finish complements the warm hue of the handle well, making the Fox Suru ideal both as a practical EDC knife and as a refined collector’s item.
M398 Steel – High Wear Resistance
The blade is made of M398 stainless steel with a hardness of 60–62 HRC. This material is valued for its high wear resistance and good edge retention, making it well-suited for a knife used regularly for light everyday tasks. To maintain sharpness, it’s best to use high-quality abrasives or sharpening systems.
Drop Point and flat grind
The Drop Point profile provides a practical combination of a durable tip and a long, functional cutting edge. The flat grind ensures smooth blade guidance when opening packages, cutting ropes, or performing more precise tasks. The satin finish highlights the clean lines of the blade and the elegant character of the RB3 variant.
Cellulose acetate, Liner Lock, and reversible clip
The handle is finished with brown cellulose acetate, a material with a decorative surface and a distinctive, deep appearance. The design is complemented by a titanium backspacer with a stonewashed finish. The Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when open, and the reversible clip allows you to adjust the knife for right- or left-handed carry in a tip-up configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen M398 steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. M398 responds well to sharpening with high-quality diamond stones, ceramic sharpeners, or guide systems.
How does the Liner Lock work?
When the blade is opened, the spring-loaded part of the steel inlay slides under the blade’s base and secures the blade in place. To close the knife, slide the liner to the side and carefully fold the blade shut.
What makes a cellulose acetate handle unique?
Cellulose acetate is a material used in utility products and more decorative accessories. In this version, it gives the handle a deep brown appearance, which may vary subtly from one piece to another.
What is the Drop Point blade good for?
Drop Point is a versatile blade profile useful for typical EDC tasks, such as opening packages, cutting cardboard, string, and other lightweight materials.
What does a tip-up clip mean?
A tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. The clip can be mounted on either the right or left side of the handle.
