PILAR® III
Designed by Jesper Voxnaes in Loegstrup, Denmark
Refined and every bit as rugged.
This upgraded version of the Pilar® III adds a bit of flair to an otherwise understated design. The blade is now coated black and made from Sandvik 12C27™ steel for improved edge retention, while the G10 handle features a new hammered texture for even better all-weather grip. Otherwise, it’s the same hard-workings folder the Pilar® III has always been.

The Pilar® III’s core features return, including both the thumb slot opening mechanism and IKBS™ bearings, which make it easy to deploy the blade smoothly in one hand, regardless of which hand that is. The nearly 3-inch drop point blade is perfect for both slicing and more delicate detail work and the strong frame lock adds a sense of security—whether on the high seas or in your garage.
Designer Jesper Voxnaes named the Pilar® after Ernest Hemingway’s beloved boat, the 38-foot vessel that he used for renegade surveillance of German U-boats during WWII in Caribbean waters. The world-famous author was also a WWI combat vet, big-game hunter, sailor, and fisherman, and certainly would have selected an everyday carry companion like the Pilar® III for his daily endeavors.

Loegstrup, Denmark
When Jesper needs to test a design, he only has to step into his own backyard. The harsh elements and conditions of the fjords and forests in his native Denmark do the rest. When he was starting out, no one was making the kind of knives he wanted to design so he learned by trial and error. Apparently his efforts paid off given his IF Award in 2013 for one of the Top European Designs. Now he creates and uses knives like the Amicus® as he sails, camps, and drives off-road. Which is more often than not.
