The Design Process:

When designing the ÆON, the handle texture/pattern defined the design. The arcing lines in combination with linear textured chamfering along both ends of the handles allow for a futuristic yet ergonomic handle design. The blade is a classic drop point however with a slightly elongated flat area to maximize cutting potential. The classic ultra low-profile flipper tab from other models was also incorporated into this design as the opening method, allowing the blade to remain ultra thin and the overall design to retain its minimalist appearance.

The inset liner on this model has also been reiterated for this specific model using a single sided liner. This in combination with internally skeletonized titanium handles results in an extremely lightweight package considering the size of the the knife. Ultimately this knife was designed with the user (YOU) in mind.
