Born from the knife-making legacy of Maniago, Italy, the MKM Edge represents the fusion of tradition and innovation. Crafted by Maniago Knife Makers—a collective of some of Italy’s finest manufacturers—and designed by local artisan Graciut, the Edge is a modern take on the classic slip joint folder. With its clean, angular lines and open-frame construction, this knife is as striking in form as it is effective in function.
At the heart of the Edge is a 2.95-inch reverse tanto blade made from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel. Known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear toughness, M390 ensures this knife performs far above its weight class. The flat grind and satin finish highlight the blade’s refined geometry, while the crowned spine and milled opening holes add subtle aesthetic flair and easy usability. The reverse tanto design also offers excellent tip control and versatility on flat cutting surfaces.
The Edge’s handle is machined from black anodized aluminum and skeletonized to reduce weight without compromising durability. Weighing in at only 1.94 ounces and a closed length of 3.94", this knife disappears in your pocket but offers a solid grip and confident handling thanks to its ergonomic design. The slim, straight profile, paired with large cutouts, gives it a unique visual identity while enhancing grip and control during use. The stainless steel back spring is tuned for a snappy opening and features a half stop for added safety during operation.
Despite its modern styling, the MKM Edge maintains the core simplicity and reliability of a traditional slip joint. It opens manually via four small thumb holes in the blade, requiring no locking mechanism, yet delivering secure performance for everyday tasks. A lanyard hole adds functional flexibility, and the knife comes with a premium leather sheath that includes a magnetic closure for convenient, secure carry.
Whether you're a minimalist looking for a featherweight daily carry or an enthusiast seeking standout Italian design, the MKM Edge delivers cutting-edge performance with understated class.
