The FX175 is an ultralight folding knife engineered for situations where minimal weight and compact carry are critical, such as backpacking, emergency kits, and space‑constrained loadouts. Total weight measures approximately 1.2 ounces, allowing the knife to remain unnoticed during extended carry. The blade is supported by a stainless steel frame that provides structural strength while maintaining a slim overall profile suitable for reduced-bulk applications.
When closed, a nylon micro handle covers one side of the frame to protect the blade edge and prevent snagging on clothing or gear, further reducing carry interference. The asymmetrical handle design minimizes thickness while maintaining functional control during use. A thumb hole integrated into the blade supports smooth, controlled one-handed deployment. The streamlined construction prioritizes essential cutting capability, reliable handling, and extreme weight efficiency for users who require dependable performance without sacrificing pack space or carry comfort.
