MKM Makro 1 Naked/Skeletonized, Stonewashed M390 by Jesper Voxnæs (MKMA01-N)

Macro 1 Naked/Skeletonized, Stonewashed, design by Jesper Voxnæs. Made from a single piece of excellent Böhler M390 tool steel, a lightweight (only 47g!) knife that can serve as both an urban EDC and a handy off-road knife by Italian brand MKM. Lightweight Handle grips without grips and razor-sharp, short strong blade with a rounded cutting edge.

Jesper Voxnaes began making 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 - 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 - Drop Point type with clearly marked belly has been finished masking fine scratches with a bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. The solid thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives us an extremely effective cutting tool with great durability. Spine jimping, a notched support on the Blade's back, and finger choil, an undercut for the index finger, provide precise control of cutting direction.

Handle - is the result of ergonomics research, despite the lack of grips, provides a secure grip. Hollow space and holes give a wide field for customization of the Handle grips, from simple braided paracord, to specially made for a given hand grips of any material The rounded shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges. On the back of the Handle an enlarged lanyard hole, which is a hole for attaching a belaying line.

Sheath - when designing, great emphasis was placed on the ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Flat, lightweight holster made of natural, high-quality leather. Innovative fastening using magnets gives many options for attaching the Sheath to the belt, edge of the pocket or the equipment.

Additional accessories - the knife comes with torx keys T6/T8.
