NOW AVAILABLE - FX-654 CR
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 PAI (Police of Italian Africa) was established in 1936 as the Colonial Police Corps. It was responsible for security and public order in the territory of Libya, the Italian governorate in Ethiopia and the colonies of AOI (Italian East Africa). It was the first armed force in Italy to be dependent on acivilian ministry, initially the Ministry of Colonies and later the Ministry of Italian Africa.
The traditional Billao knife, like that of Fox Knives, has a leaf-shaped blade anda 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.
