Joseph Vero—a mechanical engineer and Florida Atlantic University graduate who spent years designing technology for law enforcement. In 2018, he sketched his first knife (the Impulse) during downtime at home, inspired by his grandfathers' pocket knives he cherished growing up. What started as a passion project became a family business, with Joseph now working alongside his wife, sister, and even his two young sons when they're not in school.
Why do Vero knives sell out so fast?
Because demand vastly exceeds supply. New releases typically sell out in 2-3 minutes—sometimes seconds. Preorders can take 3-6 months to fulfill. This isn't artificial scarcity; it's the reality of a small family operation that refuses to compromise quality for speed. If you're interested, follow Vero Engineering and DLT Trading on social media for drop announcements and be prepared to move quickly.
What's special about Vero's flipper design?
Vero's signature flipper tab is engineered to function as both a traditional flipper and a front flipper, without compromising the knife's clean lines. It's designed to be pulled outward, not pushed downward—a subtle detail that makes deployment feel incredibly natural. The Mini Synapse even features a square recess on the non-show side for finger flicking. This is engineering solving real problems, not just adding features.
Which Vero model should I get?
The Axon features a sheepsfoot blade perfect for slicing tasks. The Synapse (available in standard, mini, and XL sizes) offers a versatile drop-point. The award-winning Avid 1 received the Best Imported Folder award at Blade Show Atlanta 2025. The Lux is a minimalist gentleman's folder. All models come with extensive customization options at purchase, including blade finishes (stonewashed, belt satin, hand satin, DLC, and blackwashed), handle materials, and hardware configurations. It feels more like ordering a custom item than buying a production one.
Who manufactures Vero knives?
Vero partners with respected Chinese manufacturers Bestech and Reate to produce his designs. These aren't generic OEM knives—they're Joseph's specific engineering translated into production reality with rigorous quality control. The combination of American design and Asian manufacturing precision delivers custom-level fit and finish at production prices.
What's covered under warranty?
Two-year warranty from the run date covering defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear, modifications, or abuse aren't covered. If you have an issue, contact Vero directly.
