SFX-1 Silver Fox | Titanium EDC Pocket Knife With VG10 Blade

SFX-1 Silver Fox | Titanium EDC Pocket Knife With VG10 Blade

The silver fox is a rare and extraordinary creature, thriving where dense forests meet the frozen wilderness. It moves with silent grace, combining sharp instincts with calm resilience. Agile in complex terrain and steadfast in the cold — it embodies the very traits we believe define the perfect folding knife: elegant, reliable, and always ready for the unknown.

Inspired by this remarkable animal, we created the LAIR Silver Fox Series.
Our debut model, SFX-1, captures the spirit of the silver fox and translates it into functional, purposeful design:

  • Titanium Handle — Lightweight, durable, and built to last — a reflection of the fox’s agility and inner strength.
  • VG10 Steel Blade — Exceptionally sharp and wear-resistant, echoing the silver fox’s keen precision.
  • Green Forged Carbon Inlay — Like the piercing eyes of the silver fox, it gives the knife a unique soul and identity.
  • Fox-Tail Shaped Pocket Clip — A subtle tribute to the silver fox’s elegant form, balancing aesthetics and everyday utility.

SFX-1 is not just a tool — it’s a mindset.
A symbol of quiet strength, clarity under pressure, and the courage to explore uncharted paths. Whether you're navigating the urban jungle or venturing into the wild, SFX-1 will be by your side — silent, steady, and ready


GR5 Titanium Handle | Lightweight Strength

The SFX-1 features a handle made from aerospace-grade GR5 titanium—strong, light, and corrosion-resistant. Compared to traditional metals, it offers better durability with less weight, making it ideal for both daily carry and outdoor use.
The titanium stays rust-free, feels comfortable in hand, and adds a touch of refined toughness to the overall design.

VG10 Steel Blade | Sharp, Reliable, Ready

Made with premium Japanese VG10 stainless steel, the SFX-1 blade delivers razor-sharp performance with excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Rated at 59–61 HRC, it's tough enough for wood, rope, or food prep, and easy to maintain. A brushed finish gives the blade a clean, professional look built to last.


Fox-Tail Pocket Clip | Functional Elegance

Inspired by the curve of a silver fox’s tail, the custom pocket clip blends smoothly into the knife’s profile. It provides secure, discreet carry while enhancing the knife’s sleek and balanced silhouette.


Forged Carbon Inlay | Soul of the Silver Fox

A striking green forged carbon inlay on the handle evokes the intelligence and spirit of the silver fox. This subtle detail adds personality and transforms the SFX-1 from a tool into a statement—crafted with meaning and intent.

  • From Sketch to Reality: The Design Behind SFX-1
Sketches may be breathtaking, but the true test lies in transforming inspiration into a tangible creation that rests in your hand. To faithfully honor the original design, we combine CNC precision machining with masterful hand finishing. Every SFX-1 is a 1:1 recreation of the design draft—flawless, the moment you hold it.

Frame Lock | Strength You Can Rely On

The SFX-1 uses a titanium frame lock, known for its strength, simplicity, and reliability. By integrating the lock into the handle itself, it offers solid lock-up, fewer moving parts, and excellent durability.
It’s easy to operate one-handed and built to handle real-world use — secure, smooth, and built to last.

Ergonomics | Where Comfort Meets Flow

The SFX-1 is designed with ergonomics at its core — offering a secure, comfortable grip with excellent control in any condition.
Inspired by the elegant lines of the silver fox, the handle flows naturally with your hand, combining form and function in perfect balance.

  • Hidden in the Details

Everyday Carry | Your Go-To Daily Tool

From opening packages to slicing fruit or handling quick fixes, the SFX-1 is built for daily life. Lightweight and compact, it’s the kind of tool you’ll reach for — at home, at work, or on the move.


Outdoor Adventure | Trusted in the Wild

In the outdoors, reliability is everything. The SFX-1 handles fire prep, rope cutting, food prep, and shelter setup with ease — a compact tool that punches above its weight when you need it most.

Emergency Use | Ready When It Counts

In critical moments, a good knife can make all the difference. With a strong blade and secure frame lock, the SFX-1 can cut seat belts, break windows, or assist in first aid — always ready, never in the way.

Collectible Design | Form Meets Soul

More than just a tool, the SFX-1 is a piece of design. The green forged carbon inlay, like the silver fox’s eyes, adds a bold visual signature. It’s a knife to use, admire, collect — and make your own.
