Vero Engineering Avid 1 Blackwash S45VN Blade with Jade G10 Handles

The Avid 1 from Vero Engineering. Winner of the Imported Folding Knife of the Year at Blade Show Atlanta 2025!

The Vero Engineering Avid 1 is a masterclass in modern industrial design. Conceived by Joseph Vero, the Avid 1 is built for the enthusiast who demands a knife that looks as sharp as it cuts. This specific configuration pairs the "ghostly" aesthetic of Natural Jade G10.

The Avid 1 isn't just a tool; it's a precision instrument defined by clean lines, hidden hardware, and a "form follows function" philosophy.

Premium S45VN Performance
At the core of the Avid 1 is a CPM S45VN steel blade. This premium stainless steel is the modern industry standard for high-end EDC, offering a significant upgrade in edge retention and corrosion resistance over its predecessors.

Signature Vero Action
Equipped with a ceramic ball-bearing pivot and a perfectly tuned detent, the Avid 1 offers the legendary "drop-shut" action Vero fans crave. Whether you prefer the snappy response of the low-profile flipper tab or the tactical feel of the signature blade fuller, the deployment is smooth, fast, and incredibly satisfying.

Built for the Hand
While the Jade G10 scales provide a unique, semi-translucent look, they are primarily chosen for their durability and grip. The handle features deep chamfering to eliminate hot spots, ensuring a comfortable, ergonomic grip during extended use. The ambidextrous wire clip  pocket clip ensures the Avid 1 sits deep and secure, making it an ideal choice for a "gentleman’s tactical" carry.
