Jesper Voxnaes began creating knives in 1989, when he was just 18 years old, forging each blade completely on his own. His unique style stems from the meeting of his roots in world-renowned Scandinavian design with his passion for American knifemaking. This original approach quickly made his knives very popular, especially in the US, so much so that he was able to expand his business with machines he made himself. Since then, he has been a professional knifemaker and has worked as a designer with many top knife companies, achieving great success in many different fields.

Elmax - considered the "best all-around knife steel" a modern alloy steel with a high content of 17.30% (Cr), carbon 1.70% (C), vanadium 3.00% (V), molybdenum 1.00% (Mo), silicon 0.80% (Si). Hardened in the range of 57-62 HRC. Produced by powder metallurgy method of mixing finely powdered materials, pressing to the desired shape, and then heating to sinter or bind the material. It is characterized by extreme edge holding, high wear and corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Manufactured at Böhler-Uddeholm steel mills in Austria.

Blade - Drop Point type finished with elegant satin finish. The ideal cutting edge along its entire length provides exceptional cutting performance with full force, with a clearly marked belly. The wide blade combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives extreme cutting performance combined with high durability. Notched section of the Blade's back, the spine jimping ramp positions the thumb, giving solid support, making it easier to operate the knife.

Handle - made of Arctic Storm Fat Carbon composite, bolted directly to the blank, provides a virtually indestructible construction. The rounded shape of the sheaths eliminates sharp edges. The unique ergonomics of the Handle allows the knife to be held both ways, especially for users who appreciate an inverted grip. A fore finger groove made on the front improves grip security. On the back of the Handle a lanyard hole, which is a hole for attaching a belaying line.

Sheath - when designing, great emphasis was placed on ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Flat, lightweight holster made of Kydex plastic. It comes with UltiClip, a practical multi-position clip suitable for attachment to a pocket or trouser belt. In addition, the Kydex sheath is compatible with the Tek-Lok mount.
