Black Fox Argus Tactical Gentleman Knife

Description
Black Fox Argus Tactical Gentleman Knife
The Black Fox Argus is a modern and elegant interpretation of the “tecno-gentleman” concept, seamlessly blending tactical robustness with refined aesthetics. Its name draws inspiration from Argus, the many-eyed giant of Greek mythology, symbolizing vigilance and readiness. Like its namesake, the Argus is a reliable companion—always prepared to serve its owner with precision and style.
This knife was designed to be both functional in tactical settings and elegant enough for everyday carry. Its sleek form, durable build, and lightweight construction ensure that it is as practical as it is stylish.
The Argus is perfect for professionals, collectors, and everyday carry (EDC) enthusiasts who appreciate a knife that merges refined gentleman’s style with tactical utility. It is equally suited for those who demand both performance and design sophistication in their tools.
The D2 tool steel blade with a black stone washed PTFE coating provides excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and reduced reflectivity. The black G10 handle ensures a secure and ergonomic grip, while the liner lock system guarantees safe operation. With a lightweight build and robust pocket clip, the Argus is ideal for discreet, everyday carry.
