The FKMD N.E.R.O. (Extreme Response Operations) knife was developed in collaboration with Italia Design Progetti to meet the demanding requirements of modern tactical and military operations. Conceived from the idea of creating a lightweight yet high-performance tool, the N.E.R.O. combines outstanding materials and precise engineering to deliver superior functionality and strength in the field.
The vacuum-hardened N690Co stainless steel blade ensures remarkable sharpness retention, edge stability, and resistance to corrosion — even under extreme environmental stress. Coated with Black Idroglider®, it offers an anti-reflective finish and enhanced durability. The G10 handle scales are CNC-machined for perfect ergonomics and feature a coarse texture for exceptional grip security, even in wet or gloved conditions. The knife’s geometry and balance make it a versatile cutting tool suitable for close-quarters combat, field tasks, and rescue operations.
Continuing FOX Knives’ tradition since 1982 of producing military-grade blades for the Italian armed forces, the FKMD N.E.R.O. represents a new standard of precision, dependability, and operational efficiency. Lightweight, practical, and reliable, it’s a true companion for professionals in military, law enforcement, and tactical response units.
