Fox Ryu Tanto: Black Roc Knives Combat Design

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

The Italians know how to make fine knives! I love Fox knives and own quite a few and I just purchased this yesterday!

[@OGBladeReviews]

Sweet! Thanks for watching. 👍🗡️👍

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

A great looking knife. I love the straight forward design a knife being a knife. Great review 👍

[@dionpage7948]

Killer wicked! Fixed blades are my favorite edc blades&tanto my favorite shape&always love seein new stuff.

[@OGBladeReviews]

Thanks! It's a really sweet blade! 👍🗡️👍

[@tombrown8800]

I like fixed blades but they see a lot less use than the folders these days. That one is simple elegance ! A time proven blade shape, the epitome of a straight knife. Very practical.

Interesting review - subscribed.

[@RandomSadBoomer]

Beautiful knife! I'd argue with the fact that it has a tanto-like design. It actually looks like a puukko knife.

[@OGBladeReviews]

Yes, certainly some crossover between a traditional tanto and a puukko. Ryu can mean dragon, prosperous, or noble in Japanese. Ken Vehikite styled this one after a traditional tanto....

great review!

[@OGBladeReviews]

Thanks for watching! 👍🗡️

The review is great. I have a question, is the blade hollow or flat? In the clip, you said the grinding is hollow, but I saw it on the website of an agent and it said it's flat. I looked at the photos and watched your clip, but I don't see the same as hollow grinding. Thanks for sharing.

[@OGBladeReviews]

It's listed on several knife sale sites as hollow grind. And just taking it out now I can definitely feel a hollow grind but not too pronounced.

@@OGBladeReviews thank you !

[@butterbeans898]

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

Is the knife sturdy enough to do some outdoor tasks?

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

Nice review btw!

[@OGBladeReviews]

Absolutely! Very robust. 👍🗡️👊

[@magritteetmoncouteau]

@@OGBladeReviews thanks for the quick reply ;) sadly the micarta version seems to be out of stock everywhere in Europe. Greetings from Belgium

[@OGBladeReviews]

Yes I do see that Lamnia has the blacked out version for $150 US

[@ericsierra-franco7802]

The other design is the Monkey Thumper. I'll take a traditional tanto anyday over an Americanized tanto.

[@OGBladeReviews]

And I have the monkey thumper as well... 🗡️👍

[@babyreps365]

100% cold steel outdoorsman lite has perfect shape

[@erikangus]

Are the handle scales removable?

[@OGBladeReviews]

Yes! 🗡️👍

[@erikangus]

@@OGBladeReviews great! I love this blade design but thinking I may dye the micarta a deep blue or purple.

[@OGBladeReviews]

Nice, but for me it maintains its tactical/military look as is... 👍🔥🗡️

[@BigDaddySwingingMeat]

@@erikangus What is the best method to dye micarta? I would like to dye the micarta handles on an ESEE 6 knife blue myself. Any recommendations?

[@SamHain-o4l]

FYI Ryu translates to Dragon

[@OGBladeReviews]

Yes, thanks. Spent some time on Okinawa. 👍
