Vero Engineering Avid 2 - Marbled Carbon Fiber - Machine Belt S45VN Blade

S45VN Liner Lock with Marbled Carbon Fiber Handles

The Avid 2 is the successor to the award-winning Avid 1, recognized as the Imported Folding Knife of the Year at Blade Show Atlanta 2025. This budget-friendly pocket knife is crafted by Joseph Vero, offering exceptional quality and performance for everyday carry enthusiasts.

Blade

The 3.25" cleaver blade uses S45VN steel with a machine belt finish. S45VN is a premium American powder metallurgy stainless steel known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It's a refined version of S35VN with added nitrogen for finer carbide structure, making it ideal for EDC folders and tactical knives. The high flat grind ensures a sharp, durable edge for everyday tasks.

Handle

Marbled carbon fiber handles provide a lightweight yet robust structure. Carbon fiber is a composite material made from layers of carbon fabric bonded with epoxy resin, offering high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to moisture. The skeletonized titanium liners reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. At 3.8oz, it carries lighter than many titanium-handled knives.

Carry

The liner lock mechanism is secured with a steel insert for added strength. The ambidextrous wire clip allows for right or left-hand, tip-up carry, making it versatile for different users. Caged ceramic bearings ensure smooth blade deployment.
