Black Fox Viator Hunting and Bushcraft Knife
The Black Fox Viator is a modern reinterpretation of knives once used by American pioneers, hunters, and explorers of the 19th century. Combining traditional inspiration with modern materials, it offers a compact, versatile, and robust fixed blade suitable for hunting, bushcraft, and general outdoor use. Its balance of size and strength makes it a dependable tool for both everyday camp tasks and more demanding fieldwork.
Designed to embody the spirit of the frontier, the Viator delivers the strength and reliability early explorers demanded, while offering the precision and comfort expected by today’s outdoorsmen. Its full-tang construction and premium materials ensure durability in even the harshest conditions.
The Viator is ideal for hunters, bushcrafters, outdoor enthusiasts, and collectors who value a compact yet powerful fixed blade knife. Its design appeals to those who appreciate both historical influences and modern performance.
The D2 steel blade with a satin finish provides excellent edge retention and wear resistance. Its modified drop-point profile and full-flat grind ensure versatility, from precise cutting to wood processing. Short jimping on the spine enhances thumb control for power cuts and fine tasks. The green Micarta handle offers a secure, comfortable grip even in wet conditions, while the Kydex sheath ensures safe, reliable carry during outdoor adventures.
