This Fox Baby Core model has a black stonewashed blade and an orange handle with a black backspacer.
Blade HQ teamed up with Fox Knives and made the exclusive Baby Core! This little Vox design has a Bohler N690Co blade with a sweeping belly and an abrupt clip point. The handle is made of fiberglass reinforced nylon with a paneled texture. The knife opens smooth with either the flipper or thumb studs and the caged ball bearings. The Baby Core includes a lanyard hole and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip.
Features:
Jesper Voxnaes design is compact and allows a secure three finger grip.
Bohler N690Co blade and lightweight FRN handle scales make for a premium feel.
Flipper and thumb hole openers make the knife an epic fidget knife.
First the criticisms: Very small in hand. Be aware of that. In many ways, that's a plus, but I could see how it might be smaller than you expect. The handle is not as glossy as in the photos. Wire clips look cheap in my opinion even though this one goes fine with the knife overall. The flipper tab is quite small and a bit slippery as far as purchase goes. Plus, the tab does not always flip the knife open with authority. You're probably not going to be able to flick the blade open with the small thumb hole. I sure can't. Now, the pros: Size may be small, but it's great. It's the go anywhere, stash anywhere knife. It will raise no alarms. This is the bright, happy Halloween-themed variant and it does not raise many flags. The handle feels great even if it's small in hand and not as slick or glossy as the photos would have you believe. The stonewashed blade just looks great. Overall size of entire knife just flat out works. Finger choil offers secure grip, especially since it's right behind the seated flipper tab acting as a mini guard. Hole in the blade is a bonus way to slowly open the knife and adds some character to the blade and overall design. Scaled pattern on the handle is quite reptilian looking in nature and just adds another touch. Wire clips may be lean and cheap in my eye but it works here because it's black and the knife is just so damn compact. That means you can stretch the length of your index finger out over the spine of the blade for some focused cutting tasks. Man, this is a killer design. It's my first Voxnaes design and something tells me it won't be my last. Very impressed by this one.

I've had dozens of EDCs over the years, spyderco, benchmade, SOG, et al. But this may be my favorite.
Love the colour, love the blade (came ready to shave), but really it's just a FUN knife to keep in my pocket. I love the snap in it. I've never liked liner locks (hate frame locks), I prefer thin knives like the linerless Spyderco Native with a spine lock but this one won me over. You can really feel the quality over cheaper flippers (such as the Kershaw Skyline). Every time I open it, I'm glad i bought it.
Also really just love the chubby little blade with the flat back, like something different and not so "tactical" looking.
Favorite new knife.

Love this gem. Very flickable, good action, excellent lock-up. I like the steel. Only downside is it's a lil thick. Love the deep carry wire clip too. Feel great in hand! 4.5 stars. Feel very high end!
