VP5970BRFC: Jesper Voxnaes Belone Folding Knife - Bronze Carbon Fiber
Viper Knives
The Belone design comes from Danish custom knifemaker Jesper Voxnaes to be a stout gentleman's everyday carry tool. It features a bit of the Italian regional traditional style, perfectly reworked by Jesper according to his modern and minimalist style which has made him famous all over the world. His knives exude sophistication, thoughtfulness, and purpose while remaining true to their primary function and that is cutting. The result is a light and tapered folding knife that means business, embellished with refined details such as the holes in the back of the handle and deep carry pocket clip.
The Bohler M390 Microclean steel blader gives the Belone excellent cutting properties and while minimizing daily maintenance. The ball bearing pivot makes it very fast to open via the compact flipper tab which is perfectly integrated into the overall design. The handle, with its well-finished ergonomics, has anodized titanium liners enclosed between thin titanium or carbon fiber scales. The clip is attached to the backspacer, allowing the Belone to disappear completely in the pocket for maximum discretion and we absolutely love it.

The Belone has become one of my favorite knives. The design and construction is top notch in the production market.My initial review was in annoyance of having to smooth out some rough edges. . I felt that I should not have had to do that. Now that I have purchased other knives in the price range, I understand more about trade-offs.Now, months later, after I smoothed it, massaged it, it exudes an elegance and style unmatched in my collection (about 3 dozen).Thank you, Viper. Thank you, K.C.

Pros: Handle Material, Blade Material
Cons: None
Fit and finish should be done by the manufacturer
I carry the Belone in its turn. I had to smooth a lot of rough edges. Too many. This was the first time I spent $200 on a knife and I thought somebody else should have done that. (Some Japanese craftsman, maybe..? a not so subtle dig..)In the end, I feel like I'm carrying a lot of Italian style. Also, a lot of fine Austrian steel. But, really, a lot of Italian style. I'm smiling.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
It bites so beware
It bites. The pocket clip is tip up only. The point of the blade is just below the frame. But not low enough. It can and does easily stabs you when unclipping it from your pocket. Which can be avoided. Grab the sides of the frame when unclipping it from your pocket. Or use a lanyard. Or don't clip it to your pocket, just carry it in your pocket.
