Date night, not EDC
With another coherent design, well-proportioned and harmonious to the eye and the hand, Jesper Voxnaes puts one more in the win column! This time it's not headed for the job site, but rather the opera house or the wine-tasting fundraiser (I assume those exist somewhere). I have many knives I wouldn't carry on a first (or fourth) date, but this one isn't on that list. The handle, while slim, is 100% Vox (think Tur or Karakurt), and the blade feels ready for business; sleek but solid, without irrelevant bulk. The half-stop has its own authoritative click, so all good there. The leather slip capably protects the knife from the pocket's other contents and vice versa. My only knock on it is that mine takes a lot of effort to open, enough that with the sharp edge on the nail nick (a missed detail?!), the key reprofiles my thumbnail for me about every time I open it. Hence the 4-stars. All the same, I really like this knife.
