Dear forumites -
I'm in the process of ordering a Vox knives Vox mate. A nice
little compact package, just the way I like it. I figure if some of
you haven't heard of Vox knives, it's time you do. Here's the
link -

If you should have any fixed blades in your collection, or to carry,
then check out Jesper Voxnaes' work's of art & function.
What say the augurers?
AET :D

Vox knives
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds, awake in the day to find that it was vanity. But the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes to make it reality.

Early Vox knives:
Another nice thing about Vox's work is the time and effort he and Mrs. Vox put into their hand-crafted sheaths. His earlier Persian inspired FB came with a hand sewn sting ray skinned sheath:
I also like his Sami inspirations and mix of modern and traditional Scandinavian handle materials:
Vox has undertaken a request or two with impressive results. Below a MOP Push Dagger I had made per my request for Mrs J:
I am the grateful owner of the Vox Bowie pictured on our humble berserker's web site
The cool thing about the VB is that it won first place at a Danish Hammer-In. Vox forged an old tool steel file (you can still see some of the file pattern by the blade spine and hilt guard) and hand-worked all the materials - reindeer bone/antler, brass, leather, and everything into a balanced and hardy user. I have taken the VB camping in Sequioa, Death Valley, and King's Canyon and she has performed like a trooper. And yes, before anyone remarks on using such a knife as a camp tool, Vox made it abundantly clear that his knives are users- not display knives. It still is in primo condition and holds an edge well.
Vox and family is good folks. :cool: He makes a makes a sweet matter separator and one **** of a good friend. Guess it's time to write and ask about the possibility of hooking up with cousin Connie or the pack of hot-tubbing young Swedish cheerleaders that he shares fine single malt Scotch and Sprite with and inquire about having him build a nice necker with some of Devon Thomas' high contrast fireball damascus......... :D
The rest of ya go buy a Vox 'cuz Vox Rox!!!!!!! :D

When I said that mercy stood
Within the border of the wood
I meant the lenient beast with claws
And bloody swift dispatching jaws.
Death Before Decaf! ! :spyder:

Take care of you and yours,
Jesper
