The Pilar is where minimal design meets maximum utility.
It's a super compact everyday carry folder with distinctive minimalist design and an epic tale behind its name. The Pilar's low profile and understated when tucked away, and carefully designed to punch above its weight when in use.
Jesper Voxnaes designed the Pilar in his Logstrup, Denmark shop, and named it after Ernest Hemingway's beloved sailboat — the 38-foot long vessel that he used for renegade surveillance of German U-boats during WWII in Caribbean waters. The world-famous author was also a WWI combat vet, big-game hunter, sailor, and fisherman, and certainly would have selected an everyday knife companion like the Pilar™ for his daily endeavors.
The 2.4" flat grind blade features a satin finish and the fine, but strong tip is useful for more detailed tasks. It's deployed from its stainless steel handle with a thumb slot opening mechanism and is secured with a frame lock for your safety.
The modern Hemingway is the ultimate Renaissance man, and the Pilar is the knife that will stand up to the challenge.

Cons: Weight
Love this Jnife
Voxnaes is a master of form and function. The Pilar is a small knife that packs a punch. Razor sharp out of the box. Not too fidget friendly until I cleaned, oiled, and tuned it up. Now it flies open with a middle finger flick. It is a knife I like to use and look at. Nice curves. Can a knife look “sexy?” Yes it can.

Pros: Ease of Opening, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Weight, Handle Material
Small but very useable
This is probably my favorite Voxnaes knife. It's very cool looking and very useful. It's small but you can get a nice grip on it because of the volume of the handle unlike the Iona. Nice choil for your finger! It's also a great price.Not sure why Voxnaes knives are so small but I think it's because he works out of NYC which is not knife friendly.
