SHOP CASE KNIVESThe MKM Isonzo Folding Knife Lava Flow Fat Carbon Cleaver SMKW Exclusive is a bold, compact cutting tool built for performance and designed to stand out. Created in collaboration with renowned Danish knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes, this exclusive edition brings both high-end materials and thoughtful ergonomics into one aggressive, eye-catching package.
At the heart of the Isonzo is a stout 2.36-inch Bohler M390 stainless steel cleaver blade with a rugged stonewash finish. M390 is a premium blade steel known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability—making it ideal for heavy everyday use or demanding outdoor tasks. Whether you're slicing, chopping, or breaking down packaging, this cleaver-style blade delivers controlled power in a small footprint.
Opening is fast and intuitive thanks to a dual deployment system featuring both a blade flipper and a large thumb hole. The action is smooth, the lockup is solid, and the linerlock mechanism keeps things secure during use. The jimping along the spine and finger choil offers extra control, especially in tight or detailed work.
What truly sets this model apart is its Lava Flow Fat Carbon handle—a unique red and black carbon fiber blend with striking swirls that make each piece visually distinct. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, the contoured handle provides excellent grip and comfort. A matching red anodized backspacer and pivot ring enhance both aesthetics and structural integrity, giving this knife a cohesive, custom-grade feel. At just 3.47 inches closed and 2.82 ounces, it's easy to carry and built to be used.
This model is exclusive to Smoky Mountain Knife Works, making it a must-have for collectors and users alike who want something both functional and rare. The Voxnaes design influence is unmistakable—tough, clean, and made to work.
