In this detailed review of the MKM (Maniago Knife Makers)<\/a> Jaques – a modern slip joint Folding Knife – find out if it could be your ideal EDC companion.<\/p>\n

The MKM Jaques is a slip joint folding knife designed by Jesper Voxnaes. The Jaques has a satin finish CPM MagnaCut Wharncliffe blade, and the version in this review features Fat Carbon DARK MATTER BLACK handles.<\/p>\n

“The Jaques design is my modern take on the folders I have seen used by European winegrowers in both Italy and France but mixed with details from some of my favourite American slip joint patterns. A nice sized utility folder, in high-end materials, with great feel in hand. A perfect for EDC for urban and outdoor settings.” Jesper <\/p>\n

Read on in this MKM Jaques Review for all the details.<\/p>\n

What’s in the box?:<\/b>
\nFor this section there is no box or packaging to include, as this specific knife was a ‘show knife’ at IWA Outdoor Classics 2025 (and possibly other exhibitions). It also means that in the following galleries, any imperfections will be due to the knife being handled by a lot of people during the trade fair.<\/p>\n

A good look round the folded MKM Jaques – Things to look out for here are:<\/b>
\nWith this version, the DARK MATTER BLACK handles compliment the bronze titanium bolsters\/liners perfectly. Each and every knife with this handle material is unique, and the handle scales are secured to the combined bolster and liner with three screws. A single position stainless steel wire pocket clip, can be removed if you prefer not to use it. Only one side of the pivot bolt has a torx screw head, with the other being blank. The back-spring spacer is beautifully polished giving the Jaques a very refined look. The pivot specification states ball bearings. No bearings can be seen when looking into the knife, so these covered bearings should be more dust resistant than when you can see the ball bearings themselves.<\/p>\n
