Fox Knives' reinterpretation of the famous Billao knife is a tribute to the traditional knife of the official equipment of the Police of Italian Africa (PAI). Fox Knives wanted to maintain the historical consistency and authentic aesthetics of the original knife while making improvements to impart sturdiness through new manufacturing technology.
The traditional Billao knife, like that of Fox Knives, has a leaf-shaped blade and a three-pronged handle pommel, with the center point formed by the protrusion of the blade tang. The handle is made of buffalo horn, a traditional material that adds authenticity to the design. The sheath is made of leather and has loops and strings that allow it to be attached to the hips. It is specially designed to accommodate both the handle and the hilt, maintaining the practicality and originality of the Billao knife.
In addition to care in aesthetics, Fox Knives has worked to ensure solidity for the reinterpreted knife: the satin-finished N690Co blade and handle are of high quality and resistant to everyday stresses. This combination of historical authenticity and modern durability makes the Billao by Fox Knives an item appreciated by knife enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
