This knife is not only a tool, but also an expression of personal style. Ideal for those who appreciate remarkable design and reliability!
Jesper Voxnaes began creating knives in 1989, when he was just 18 years old, forging each blade completely on his own. His unique style stems from the meeting of his roots in world-renowned Scandinavian design with his passion for American knifemaking. This original approach quickly made his knives very popular, especially in the US, so much so that he was able to expand his business with machines he made himself. Since then, he has been a professional knifemaker and has worked as a designer with many top knife companies, achieving great success in many different fields.
M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - Clip Point type with curved belly and sharp blade finished with elegant satin finish. The small thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. Ball bearings assist in the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened by means of a hole in the wedge (thumb hole) or a flipper flipper (index-finger flipper) that acts as a stinger when opened. As a result, it can be easily used by right- and left-handed people. To maintain full control of the blade, there is a notched thumb rest on the back of the upper jimping wedge. The whole is locked with a solid liner lock.
Handle - made of solid titanium 6AL4V stonewashed finish and bronze anodized. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On both sides there is an overlay (cap) made of Carbon Fiber. The grips are joined together with a titanium backspacer. A single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. Under the clip a lanyard hole, a hole for attaching a safety or decorative cord.
