Vero Engineering Nova Mini Stonewash 3.25in Plain Stonewash Drop Point V-NO-STR-FK-1685-S

The Vero Engineering Nova Mini Stonewash is a refined, high-performance folding knife that balances sleek design with serious cutting capability. Built for everyday use and crafted with precision, this compact powerhouse proves that minimalism can still pack a punch. Whether you're slicing, opening, or carving, the Nova Mini delivers dependable control and strength in every cut.

Its 3.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from Bohler M390 stainless steel—one of the most sought-after super steels on the market. M390 is known for its outstanding wear resistance, incredible edge retention, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal steel for anyone who depends on their knife day in and day out. The stonewash finish enhances the durability of the blade while giving it a rugged, no-nonsense look that resists visible scratches and fingerprints.

A low-profile flipper tab paired with a caged ceramic bearing pivot ensures the Nova Mini deploys with smooth, fluid action. The blade glides into place effortlessly and locks up with confidence thanks to the solid titanium framelock. It’s the kind of action that becomes second nature, with a fidget-friendly feel and a mechanical precision that serious knife enthusiasts will appreciate.

The stonewash titanium handle not only matches the finish of the blade for a cohesive aesthetic but also delivers lightweight durability. Titanium is known for its strength-to-weight ratio, and the ergonomic contours of the handle ensure it rests comfortably in the hand during extended use. At just 4 ounces, the Nova Mini offers a solid, balanced feel without being bulky, making it an ideal everyday companion.

With an overall length of 7.5 inches when open and 4.15 inches closed, the Nova Mini is compact enough for easy daily carry yet long enough to tackle real work. The tip-up pocket clip provides secure, discreet carry, whether clipped inside a pocket or riding in a gear bag. It’s a knife that disappears when you don’t need it but shines when it’s time to get things done.

Every detail of the Nova Mini reflects the design sensibility of Joseph Vero—clean lines, intuitive function, and high-end materials that elevate this knife far beyond the ordinary. The flipper action is snappy, the lockup is rock-solid, and the finish throughout is precise and professional. From the hand feel to the blade geometry, the Nova Mini is a carefully considered tool that’s built to perform and last.

Available from the world’s largest knife store, Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the Vero Engineering Nova Mini Stonewash represents the kind of quality you can only find when you shop at the best online knife store. Whether you're a collector looking for your next favorite or someone who simply values a premium tool you can rely on, the Nova Mini hits every mark.
