Designed by American Bladesmith Society member Mike Vagnino, the Velox 2 is made from premium materials—like S35VN steel and 6AL4V titanium—and sports a streamlined frame absent of frills. The titanium handle is shapely, with ergonomic grooves that rest in the palm comfortably. The drop-point blade measures 3.4 inches, so it can tackle both precise tasks and those that require a little more oomph. Made from CPM-S35VN steel, one of the best commercial steels available, it rides on a custom pivot, flipping open with the flipper. Also notable is the flipper’s subtle shape, which doesn’t stick out like many others. A blue anodized pocket clip makes for easy carry, and it ties in with the blue accents in the handle.
