About MKM – Maniago Knife Makers

Founded in 1960, CONSORZIO COLTELLINAI MANIAGO represents 46 knife companies worldwide, all based in Maniago, a city that is known worldwide for its blacksmithing art. In 2018, CONSORZIO COLTELLINAI MANIAGO created its own brand MKM – Maniago Knife Makers, which aims to offer new collections on the market, created through partnership with local knife manufacturers. The MKM brand is represented by a polygonal logo that evokes the mountain panorama that is the backdrop for Maniago. The slogan “Climb the Edge” is a call to action that also subtly refers to the edges of the knives themselves. The goal is to achieve the pinnacle of the highest quality through projects by renowned designers, the best, innovative ideas and the most technologically advanced materials. MKM is a brand driven by more than six centuries of local blacksmithing tradition, and today even more strengthened by a fruitful combination of companies and knowledge.

Jasper Voxnæs & VoxDesign

Danish knifemaker and designer known for his cooperation with many global brands: Spyderco, FOX Knives, Böker, Viper, MKM, CRKT, HELLE, GiantMouse. In his achievements, we often find smaller knives, with shorter but efficient blades, with a rather intensely outlined, emphasized line knife belly. The hilt lines have a visible elevation on the line of the back. Of course, individual projects differ, considering that they are made for different brands and must be consistent with their other designs. Each time, however, projects signed with the VOX logo stand out so much that at first glance people moving freely in the meanders of the knife industry recognize that the creator of a given project is Jasper Voxnæs. As the designer himself says: “My knife designs have obvious Nordic shapes and styles. Clean, functional, almost minimalist. The usability of the tool is definitely crucial.” And it’s hard to disagree with this statement.
