From the ESNYX website..."I have been making custom knives since November of 2014 in my home shop in Sarasota, Florida. Whether it be my original design, or a reproduction from old Sheffield, England, I strive to make each knife it's own work of art that is not only beautiful, but functionally precise. The challenge of blending aesthetics and utility is part of what drives my passion for making pocket knives, and continues to push me to advance in my craft. I strive for the best, and that is all I can hope to put out there. In the summer of 2019 I was honored with the "Best New Maker" award at the Blade Show. In October of 2022 I was awarded "Best Custom Slip Joint" at Blade Show West. In March of 2023 I was awarded "Best Custom Slip Joint" and "Best in Show Custom Knife" at Blade Show Texas." Evan was recently honored with the Best Of Show and Best EDC awards at Blade Show Texas 2024. And at Blade Show 2024, Evan was honored with the Best Of Show and Best Folder Awards.
This is Evan's custom CERO model, a gentleman's slip-joint folding knife, new from his lottery at Blade Show Texas 2025. This CERO features a drop point, hand finished Damacore DC21R* steel blade and Westinghouse Ivory Paper Micarta scales. The backspacer is also Damacore DC21R*. There are green-colored spacers between the scales and the bronzed titanium liners. Evan has not spared any details on the knife. The liners have been jeweled with a honeycomb pattern and their color matches the brown tones of the patina on the scales. Evan has also bordered the shield with the same green material as the spacers. And there's a fancy 3-spoke star-shaped pivot. He's also stamped the year (2025) and blade/spring steel (DC21R) inside the spring. It comes with Evan's signed Certificate Of Authenticity (COA) card and a blue ESNYX padded, zippered pouch. The blade opens easily and smoothly with an elongated nail nick, has a half stop and sits centered between the liners. Nice walk and talk. A great everyday carry or add it to your collection.
