The small model features a single blade, while the larger one starts with a blade and goes up to five uses: saw, bottle opener, can opener, flathead screwdriver, and scissors.
For over four decades, Fox Knives has been interacting with a dynamic and competitive market and has chosen to pursue research and development with a bold and personality-rich approach: an ever-evolving design.
The territorial roots remain the "craftsman's instinct" with which the company operates, studying the history of Maniago cutlery to update industrial production processes.
The VULPIS series was born from the need to create a compact, versatile multi-tool with a modern style that creates a perfect combination with historical products. The inspiration for the creation of this line comes from the DUCA, the name of the multi-tool for the people of Maniago, a knife born in the second half of the 19th century in Maniago when hunting penknives with blades of different sizes, ivory toothpicks, and tweezers to remove thorns were produced. These knives were presented at the National Exhibition in Turin in 1888 by the Bet Giovanni company, which won the gold medal for the quality of its products. It was then, most likely, that Luigi Amedeo of Savoy, Duke of the Abruzzi, wanted to visit one of the company's two stores in Turin where he saw and ordered the four-bladed multi-tool that he chose as an integral part of the equipment for the expedition to the North Pole which he captained in 1899.
