Blackside Customs Fedele X - Black PVD/Carbon Fiber

The next addition to the Blackside Custom's edged tool lineup: The Fedele X Fixed Blade!

The next addition to the Blackside Customs edged tools lineup, the Fedele X! Complementing their smaller, more purpose-driven Phase 7 Dagger, the Fedele X (or FX for short) takes on a more hybrid, multi-task role. The first thing you are gonna notice looking at the FX is the oversized blade design compared to the grip. The blade features a sexy profile, with an overall drop point design with some tweaks. Almost like a modern Italian sports car, the FX has all the curves you can lust after with some striking lines and angles to keep things looking aggressive and fast! The bevel profile features a slightly sweeping belly, that has a subtle tanto-like transition point towards the tip. Not by coincidence, this transition point is where the main thickness of the blade starts to taper, giving you a thicker, stronger main cutting edge, with a thinner but reinforced tip profile. All this means is that the FX is well suited to a number of tasks, with a thick enough stock to really get to work.

Like the aforementioned sports car, the FX then transitions from that large front end packing the horsepower, to the sleek cabin of the car. The grip is kept small, giving you enough room to get a solid on the grip for a secure purchase, without being cumbersome or stick out too far in concealed carry situations. This balance between big enough to grip while small enough to conceal lets you tote around a low profile knife with a lot of edge! The grip profile is flared at the butt end to aid getting you purchase, and the FX gives you a superb grip in both the standard and reverse positions. The oversized guard helps keep your hand from slipping up the blade, and strategic jimping on the guard, butt end, and thumb ramp/spine give you increased control and even better retention. The sleek grip wears handle scales featuring Blackside's groove milled design and logo for even more grip without being too abrasive, and is held on with titanium hardware. All of this tucks into a kydex sheath with IWB loop, and is ready for your preferred mounting solution.

The Handle: Thin and flat carbon fiber handle scales with grooved milling. Strategic jimping around the handle, and lanyard hole at the butt end. Custom titanium hardware with blue anodized finish.
