Hi all, recently as in the last couple of weeks I had a new model from Fox Knives but designed by Jesper Voxnaes and labeled VOX on the blade. The model is called the CORE (FX-606- pictured here the FX-606 OD) but what was more interesting for me was that it is being produced with a Niobium enhanced steel called Becut. Now Becut has actually been around for some time as in approximately 27 years!!!!! Yes, it was and is being used in Industry for that length of time for industrial cutting blades in both the fishing industry and food processing industries. Becut is made by the German company Bestar. Now quickly, as far as edge retention is concerned, Becut can handle severe treatment without chipping or loosing that super sharp (which it came with) cutting edge.
Becut Specs can be seen at my blog.
I cut stuff like wild mushrooms all day for several days out, shaved old dirty beech wood for kindling, cut up meat on a makeshift bunch of logs that were near the fire; light batoning onto the spine and couldn't be asked to wipe my greasy hands clean before pawing the handle cutting up more meat. Now this FX-606 or simply the CORE is a no nonsense working knife. The handle looks like a bit like a kitchen knife but that's where the similarity ends as there is a good palm swell and a textured hexagonal-like pattern pressed into the synthetic grip. Basically one doesn't need to worry about handle maintenance here, simply wipe it clean, zero water ingress due to its design. This grip BTW totally encases a full tang which that lanyard hole passes through.

Anyway a video field review is coming too but in the meantime check this other Niobium (0.8%) enhanced steel.

Seasoned beech wood
Comfortable weather resistant grip
Seasoned beech wood, feathering no problems
Polyamide and Leather deep carry scabbard
generous palm swell for a comfortable grip
Cuts meat easily despite thick spine.
BTW this is the CORE Scandi Black handled version shown hee and in my blog and there is another CORE model, but a sabre grind and both come with either an OD (olive drab) colored grip or black.
