110,50 €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.

The Fox Chnops Tactical FX-545 G10BSW is an EDC folding knife designed by Raven Knives Design, combining dynamic, bayonet-inspired lines with a practical Drop Point blade. Its compact proportions, Hybrid Cryo steel, and two ways to operate the flipper make this model well-suited for everyday use.

Drop Point Blade and Grind
The Drop Point profile offers a versatile tip and cutting edge useful for opening packages, cutting ropes, and performing typical outdoor or everyday tasks. The stonewashed finish minimizes the visibility of minor signs of wear and emphasizes the knife’s rugged character.
G10 Handle, Liner Lock, and Double Flipper
The black G10 grips provide a durable and practical grip surface. The design is complemented by a gray aluminum backspacer and a Liner Lock that secures the blade in the open position.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Hybrid Cryo steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade of any dirt and dry it thoroughly. For regular sharpening, high-quality whetstones, ceramic sharpeners, or a sharpening guide system will work well.
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 locks the blade in place. To close the knife, slide the inlay to the side and carefully close the blade.
What is the Double Flipper system?
Double Flipper refers to the use of two opening mechanisms: an upper flipper and a lower flipper. The user can choose the method that best suits their grip.
What is the Drop Point blade good for?
The Drop Point profile is versatile and works well for everyday tasks such as opening packages, cutting tape and cord, or preparing small materials.
