Born from the rich knife-making traditions of Maniago, Italy, the MKM Isonzo Voxnaes Hawkbill Folding Knife is a standout example of modern design paired with Old World craftsmanship. MKM—short for Maniago Knife Makers—is a collaboration between Italy’s finest blade producers: Fox Knives, LionSteel, Viper, and Mercury. Their shared goal is simple yet ambitious: bring together centuries of heritage with advanced materials and elite design. In the Isonzo, that mission is realized through a compact folding knife that balances refined aesthetics with rugged function.
Designed by Jesper Voxnaes, one of the most recognized names in custom knife design, the Isonzo features the hallmark curves and thoughtful ergonomics that have become synonymous with his work. Every element—from the thumb hole to the sleek jimping—has been shaped with purpose and comfort in mind. Named after the Isonzo River, a historic and untamed force of nature in northeastern Italy, this knife captures that spirit in both name and performance.
At the heart of the Isonzo is a 2.35-inch hawkbill blade made from Bohler M390 stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and strength. The aggressive curve of the hawkbill profile lends itself to pull cuts, making it ideal for cutting rope, packaging, textiles, and other EDC tasks. The stonewashed finish provides a clean, understated look while helping to mask wear from repeated use.
The handle is constructed from bronze titanium, giving the knife a sleek, modern profile that feels both solid and lightweight. The liner lock mechanism offers secure blade deployment, and the ball-bearing pivot ensures fast, smooth opening, whether you’re using the blade flipper or the comet-shaped thumb hole. The reversible pocket clip and integrated lanyard hole add versatility for tip-up carry and gear integration.
At just 3.42 inches closed and 3.32 ounces, the MKM Isonzo is an ultra-portable, dependable tool with premium styling. It's a perfect addition to any everyday carry setup and fits right into the hands of those who demand both form and function from their gear. Handmade in Italy and infused with Voxnaes' design DNA, this knife delivers an ideal blend of aesthetics, utility, and European blade-making excellence.
