MDV Folder D2 — the grown-up version of a legend (now pocket-sized)

Two years, $150,000, and more brainstorming than a campfire full of conspiracy theorists — the MDV Folder D2 is the folding evolution of the Michael Donvito–designed MDV fixed blade, reimagined by Michael Donvito and Jack Nevils with collaboration from Bram Frank. It’s for people who actually use knives, not just admire them on a shelf.

Who it’s for: EDC-minded adventurers, pocket-carry traditionalists, and anyone who wants a serious tool that doesn’t scream for attention. Fits right into AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Blade material: D2 tool steel — tough, wear-resistant, and holds an edge like it’s got a job to do.
• Format: Folding knife — the MDV fixed blade’s DNA, now pocket-friendly and concealable.
• Design lineage: Concept and styling by Michael Donvito and Jack Nevils, with collaboration from Bram Frank — heritage you can feel in the details.
• Use case: EDC / pocket carry — engineered for daily tasks, outdoor chores, and questionable campfire decisions.

Performance & Benefits

This isn’t a decorative conversation piece — it’s a tool built for real life. The D2 steel blade resists wear and keeps a sharp edge through rope, cardboard, and whatever your next adventure throws at it. Folding action turns a hardcore fixed-blade design into a discreet, concealable EDC you can actually carry every day.

It levels up your kit by combining proven blade geometry with pocket convenience: smoother carry, easier access, and the confidence that the knife in your pocket came from a thoughtful collaboration, not a weekend impulse buy. In short, it turns stuck weekends into hero stories and is perfectly happy on midnight trail runs and questionable decisions alike.
