FOX have the worst m390 performance in the market. The value due to this is so low. They just use m390 because it's popular to sell knives. The heat treatment is not going to perform as well as lesser steels.
Fox, lionsteel, viper, mkm, etc all use the same m390 heat treatment profile at the same ht facility in Italy. All these companies also grind there knives dry introducing more heat and ruin the temper also. Ht for these brands is done at Trattamenti Termici Todesco SAS and the profile was developed by lionsteel. You can even read that LionSteel tested there own m390 and it performs poorly for them also. In this thread they even got advice to make it better but ignored it. https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/lionsteel-steels.1168429/
You can watch the cut tests on the poor performance of Italy m390 at Outpost 76 on YouTube.
Manufacturers that can't do it properly shouldn't be using this steel. Just scamming customers. Bringing the value of there knives down.
