Why It Takes An Entire Village To Produce ONE Knife | The Story of FOX and Maniago Italy

[@paulkyle7840]

Long may you reign Fox Knives, thank you and best wishes from England.

[@joetaylor486]

Makes me look at my Fox MD tactical kukri in a new light. Truly great knives.

[@bradley666333]

awesome little video! I now have a little understanding behind the karambit I just ordered..they take much pride in the work and the products they ship around the world... they apear to go above and beyond to make sure the knives come out to perfection...

[@diderichlangmannen]

Even as a german I have to say that the knives from Maniago are TOP, like Fox, Lionsteel, Extrema Ratio! I own a lot of them and they all are fantastic!

[@davidebonannini640]

Diderich Langmannen as a owner you should know it's "Extrema Ratio", not "Ultima".

[@delgadito99]

Extrema Ratio is a italien company as well - but not located in Maniago

[@diderichlangmannen]

@@delgadito99 You're right. Thank you for this information.

[@haveaknifeday]

I want to go to Italy one day. But not to go to Rome but to here, Maniago. I was in the 82nd Airborne division and I appreciate your military heritage knives. This is my KZbin channel and I’d love to do a video showing what you do so that people will have a better appreciation of what is done here b

[@JeepJitsu]

i used to live in Porcia. I had a buddy that lived in Maniago and one weekend they had a knife festival. very cool to see placed on youtube that you've been to.

[@frederickj.7136]

Hello, Maniago... I am really, really pleased with my Maniago made EDC knife, the Spyderco Urban Leaf K390 sprint run 'Slip-it': the world's toughest little 1.90 ounce folder, perhaps? ...And, a new LionSteel T.R.E. G-10 model has just arrived at my house. So thanks once more, Maniago.

[@Sophocles13]

I got a fixed blade in Magnacut from Viper, which is based in Maniago. The attention to detail is top notch. Every part of the tang was beautifully crowned, the finish was excellent and it came with the best factory edge I've ever seen. All in a new steel for them. More than impressed.

[@rico-dasico5394]

Exceptional knives made by exceptional individuals.

[@mediumugly4322]

Nice work being done, a village and company with strong roots to its history utilizing new technology to increase quality while not being swallowed by it. Also I have much respect for them because they still hand sharpen the blades.

[@patrickedwards7107]

I own and have carried an FS pattern knife with almost a V42 stiletto type blade/wooden handle made by these people it continues to serve very well and has remained beautiful I am teaching a fairbairn combatives course within our Hema guild these days and the reference piece that I often hand to folks is the Fox knife it never fails to inspire respect the quality is known immediately as they take it in hand. They should remain proud of the art they carry and know that it is necessary it will never cease to be of relevance their blades have reached across the sea and hold a good reputation I own many pieces this is the one I'd entrust with my life if called upon in dire circumstance.

[@TheTacDaddy]

You know I'm a big fan of this company GN....great stuff, thanks for sharing

[@fuerstlife4365]

für mich gibt es nichts besseres als FOX Knives. Tägliche begleiter und immer Scharf und zuverlässig. Verarbeitung ist mehr als Top und für mich einfach Konkurenz los. Habe mir vor einem Jahr auch ein BlackFox puk zugelegt, auch wenn nicht made in Maniago einfach Top. Die Jungs wissen wie man Messer macht ....

[@lucymuffin30]

My 599 karambit is AWESOME!!! Thanks FOX!

[@Blakdog333]

Solingen, Toledo, Solingen and Sheffield.... all beg to differ! ..and I have edged tools from all locations.. I love and Respect this multi-faceted, age-old aspect of Humanity.

[@skippy02]

fantastic work GN

[@dtotheatothevtothee]

I used to live in Maniago...well Campagna di Maniago when I was stationed at Aviano.

[@bast2a]

very nice video for the very nice compagny ;)

[@tattoosnguns]

That was great editing superb! Thanks

[@BladesRKing]

I have 6 FOX knives and I’m waiting for the Fox RYU to come out to make #7😁

[@datutturugang666]

i live about 50 km from Maniago, i have to say that there’s are only two heritage cuttleries still being active.. it’s a shame that an awesome knife tradition has now sadly kinda stopped existing..

[@delgadito99]

I know 4 cuttleries - Lion Steel, FOX, Viper and Mercury.

[@pavitosloadout]

Since I laid hands on the Bastinelli red, the knife ordered by the French RAID, I became a fan of this company. Now, eagerly expecting my FKMD to arrive.

[@thomassullivan6016]

Great product great company ..... Integrity is hard to come by nowadays

[@justf0rlulz]

thx for tour!

[@sanporco6600]

Just lately I've purchased the Bastinelli Creations' model "Binome" manufactured by Fox, and isn't it a beautiful functional piece of art! We have Seki, Japan, the city of the blade, here but the quality and craftsmanship could surpass ours, perhaps. I've never handled such a sharp knife as the one I have with me.

[@EpicSnuggleBunny]

Fantastic Video!

[@DoingMoreKustoms]

Interesting,,,,,,,thanks for sharing. ThumbZ UP !!!

[@cougar10ag]

fantastic history! i love my fox karambit

[@delgadito99]

Great video - it would nice to see the family businesses for heat treatment and thumbling in the Video.

[@gdgarciag]

I am wondering if they have a store in maniago where I can buying some of their knives. Cause I will visit Maniago next week.

[@roccozambrifoto]

Very interesting.....

[@7redi]

Great vid!

[@903lew]

Right, that puts Maniago on the list of places to visit.

[@XCritonX]

I have a Spiderco Hossom Forester that was made by Fox under contract. Its a very nice knife.

[@sawdust6968]

i ♥my fox knives

[@haveaknifeday]

I’m thinking about going there.who would I talk to about making arrangements?

[@diocalavera9415]

i’m the proud owner of the Fox Dart 🦊

[@Battle_Ratel]

i have to send my FOX karambit 478 back to Maniago, they cut too much of an angle on my blade, now it has up and down movement and feels like its going to close on my hand

[@giovannidefrancesco3122]

L'ITALIA CHE PIACE

[@kevinfornasdoro760]

I blame funker tactical for all the things I want to buy

[@FunkerTactical]

You're welcome. I mean, we're sorry.

[@davidatemail]

so much truth to this statement

[@alessandrothugknifeforhate4517]

🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹💯💯💯💯

[@sirisaacnewton9996]

Solingen is the capital of knifes.

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

N690co is the best!!!!!

[@MatteoTSU77]

as i said to ZERO: Italians do it Better :LOL!!! Greetings from Verona!

[@levkvarner9865]

Nothing offensive, but the european capitol of knives is a bit too much for me. In Italy you are right

[@poppycocksa]

DAMA STEEL ALL THE WAY

[@eltenda]

yup....fox do it itbetter

[@Flipodahippo]

The Italian stiletto switch blade is cool but it can't beat a fucking Filipino made butterfly knife that is made of steal bearing. That shit goes through flesh and bone like nothing killing your opponent after the 2nd hit.

[@soleatefan2490]

i think kali doesnt hit the peace point in martial arts

[@matthewalford2762]

I really like knives from china...

[@oithetresen609]

you like muddy shoes too so that fits together.

[@painlord2k]

+Muddy Shoe There are Ferraris and there are Skoda. You pay quality

+Mirco Romanato Yes but Skoda makes you much better overall service than any Ferraris ;-)

[@JeeniusGaming]

"Solingen - Germany" is the european knife capital...

[@captainsewerrat]

That's what I was thinking too. I appreciate the video though and Fox Knives are great. But I think most people would think of Solingen first.

[@chicken4090]

I think of maniago as the capital, maybe you're wrong

[@kaygeeboi]

Never forget Italy joined the Axis against the US and Europe in WW2.

[@lancefisher8358]

by the end of the WW2 they returned to the allies because they realized they were on the losing side.

[@Canucklehead1884]

+Joe Biden's Shotgun What a non-sens comment of yours, and the U.S. was ally and enemy of Afghanistan during less then half century. War and relationships of governments of nations, is always made by political and money interests, not by friendship and loyalty. What happened then doesn't matter now, HISTORY!!!!

[@antoniomele4830]

Joe Biden's Shotgun Never forget the milions of innocent people killed by American soldiers

[@B4rcy]

Joe, Actually USA, after the war, pushed our government (Italian one) to the old (before the WW2) government. So... What are you talking about, idiot?

[@chicken4090]

So what are you saying
