Fox Knives Virtus

With the Fox Knives Virtus, the renowned Italian knife manufacturer from Maniago introduces a tool that blurs the line between a classic pocketknife and a dedicated cigar cutter in an innovative way. While cigar lovers typically rely on cutters, V-cutters, or scissors to prepare their cigar for an optimal draw, the Virtus knife offers an elegant alternative: A distinct recess in the handle allows for a precise cigar cut—direct and clean, much like the result you'd expect from a high-quality cigar scissors.

Italian Craftsmanship Meets Functionality

Fox Knives has stood for excellent knife engineering “Made in Italy” for decades. In Maniago, a town with a rich blade-making tradition, tools are crafted that meet the highest standards in both design and function. The Virtus model brings together this Italian commitment to quality with a passion for the moment of indulgence. It is robust, ergonomic, and well-conceived—perfect for aficionados who don’t want to miss out on a precise cut while on the go, a cut normally only achieved with specialized cigar cutters.

The Fox Knives Virtus in Detail

This knife impresses with its solid construction and clean, functional design. The integrated recess in the handle replaces the classic cutter: Whether it's a mild Robusto or a bold Toro—the cigar cut is achieved with a smooth, controlled pressure. The Virtus thus combines two worlds: the aesthetics of a high-quality knife and the precision of a cigar-cutting tool. For connoisseurs looking for something special, it’s not just a practical accessory but a stylish statement of Italian craftsmanship. The “father” of this knife—or at least a very similar model—is the Le Petit cigar knife from the French cutlery brand Les Fines Lames. By the way, it's pronounced “Leh Finn Lamm,” not “Lays Fines Lahmes,” as we sometimes hear in the Cigarworld Lounge.
