The Vero Axon Mini Framelock Folding Knife with a black DLC-coated M390 blade and stonewash titanium handles delivers compact performance with a refined, hard-use edge. Built for everyday carry, this knife balances precision, durability, and smooth action in a size that disappears in the pocket but feels confident in hand. The sheepsfoot blade profile paired with a flat grind offers excellent control and efficient cutting, making it well suited for daily utility tasks where accuracy matters.
The black DLC coating on the M390 blade adds serious durability, boosting scratch resistance while reducing glare and improving corrosion protection. This finish gives the blade a clean, tactical look that holds up under regular use. M390 stainless steel is known for outstanding edge retention, so this knife stays sharp longer and performs consistently between sharpenings.
Stonewash titanium handles provide strength without unnecessary weight, along with a finish that hides wear and complements the blade’s darker tone. The framelock is integrated directly into the handle, offering solid lockup and dependable stability during use. Ergonomic shaping ensures a secure, comfortable grip, even during extended cutting tasks, while keeping the overall profile slim and pocket-friendly.
Deployment is smooth and reliable via the front flipper, delivering fast, controlled one-handed opening. Once open, the knife locks up firmly, and closing is intuitive and secure. An integrated pocket clip keeps the knife positioned for comfortable daily carry and quick access when needed. Every detail reflects Vero Engineering’s focus on precision machining, tight tolerances, and real-world usability.
