The Vero Engineering Avid 2 Jade G-10 Blackwash S45VN is built for people who want a serious EDC knife without any fluff. It’s compact, hard-working, and designed to handle real tasks day in and day out. The blade is a full-size, cleaver-style profile with a broad belly that makes slicing and chopping feel effortless, and the blackwash finish gives it a lived-in look that won’t show wear easily.
Made from CPM S45VN, the blade delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, so it holds up whether you’re cutting rope, opening packages, or working in damp conditions. The high flat grind gives it a clean bite and a strong cutting edge, and the sturdy tip stays reliable when you need precision. The thumbstud and smooth deployment ensure it opens quickly and confidently, and the lockup is solid with minimal play.
The handle is where the Avid 2 really earns its reputation. The jade-green G-10 scales feel grippy and secure even when your hands are wet or cold, and the textured pattern adds traction without being aggressive. Titanium liners keep the knife lightweight while still providing rigid support, and the steel insert in the liner lock reinforces the locking surface for long-term durability. The ambidextrous wire clip sits low and unobtrusive, making pocket carry comfortable and discreet.
If you want to see the Avid 2 in person, Smoky Mountain Knife Works is a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store. Located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, their legendary showroom draws over 1.5 million visitors each year, and it’s the kind of place where you can handle gear and find something that really fits your style and needs.
