Vero Engineering Axon Fixed Knife 4.05in Plain Belt Satin Sheepsfoot VEAXONFBBSBM

The Vero Engineering Axon Black Micarta is a masterclass in minimalist design and top-tier performance, built for those who value precision, reliability, and craftsmanship in every detail. Designed by Joseph Vero, this fixed blade knife delivers clean geometry, high-end materials, and thoughtful ergonomics, all in a sleek, no-nonsense package that’s ideal for everyday use and hard work alike.

At the core of the Axon is a 4.05-inch sheepsfoot blade made from premium Bohler M390 stainless steel, known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear durability. This high-performance steel is favored by professionals and enthusiasts who demand blades that won’t quit, even under tough conditions. The sheepsfoot profile offers exceptional control, especially in close or detail work, and the lack of a pronounced point reduces the risk of accidental punctures—perfect for slicing tasks and rescue applications. The belt satin finish gives the blade a striking, directional luster that speaks to the knife’s refined build quality while enhancing corrosion resistance.

The Axon’s hidden tang construction keeps the weight down and the lines clean, allowing the blade to flow seamlessly into its black Micarta handle. The Micarta scales offer a confident grip with a naturally textured feel, even when wet. Over time, the handle will develop a unique patina, making each Axon a personalized tool that only gets better with use. The handle's shape and thickness are engineered for comfort and control, allowing for extended use without fatigue—whether you’re out on the trail, in the shop, or around the house.

At 8.1 inches overall and weighing just 3.38 ounces, the Axon strikes a perfect balance between strength and portability. It’s substantial enough to feel secure and capable in hand, yet light enough to carry all day without notice. The 0.14-inch blade thickness offers durability without compromising slicing efficiency, making it a reliable companion for a wide range of cutting tasks.

Carrying the Axon is made simple and secure with the included Kydex sheath, which offers excellent retention and multiple mounting options for belt or pack. Whether you're setting out for a weekend hike or just want a dependable fixed blade on hand for everyday needs, this knife is designed to go wherever you do, with gear that won't slow you down.
