Zero Beginner Mistakes
Joseph Vero builds drones. And folding knives. And – because apparently neither of those was complicated enough – a custom electric motorcycle. With a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Florida Atlantic University and years of independent design work across multiple disciplines, one thing becomes obvious very quickly: the man does not sit still. And you can feel that energy in his products.
The Nova is Joseph’s very first folder design with a dropoint blade. If you’re thinking “first attempt, let’s see how it goes” – understandable, but completely wrong. What happened between the first sketches and the finished knife was classic Vero Engineering: drawings, CAD models, 3D-printed prototypes, more drawings, sleepless nights, and eventually a knife that feels like every single detail was checked twice. Which, for a mechanical engineer, is honestly not surprising.
The Nova was produced in collaboration with Bestech – the same manufacturer behind the Heidi Blacksmith Heidi #1. Meaning: Vero’s construction philosophy meets manufacturing quality that no longer needs an introduction. The titanium framelock locks up rock solid, the front flipper running on ceramic bearings deploys exactly as it should, and the CPM MagnaCut blade – 9.2 cm drop point with a high flat grind – cuts like someone set out to design the ideal everyday blade.
At 21.1 cm overall length and 162 g, this is intentionally not a small knife. Instead, it gives you plenty of handle to work with and a very secure feel in hand.
A nice detail: the integrated lanyard hole in the backspacer is the first one ever featured on a Vero design. Sounds minor – but it’s exactly the difference between “thought through from the start” and “added later because someone asked for it.”

Warning / Safety Notice:
Risk of cuts: The most common hazard when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can easily penetrate skin and tissue.
Blade slippage: Improper handling or applying excessive force may cause the knife to slip, leading to uncontrolled movements and potential injury.
Injuries from falling knives: Knives should never be left unsecured or placed near the edge of tables or work surfaces, as they may fall and cause injury.
Dull blades: Dull knives pose a higher risk of injury, as they require more force and are more likely to slip. Knives should therefore be sharpened regularly and properly.
Improper use: Using a knife for purposes other than its intended use (e.g. as a prying tool) can damage the blade and may result in accidents.
