About Design
Jacob's drive for this design was to push his design language to its limit and introduce new ideas! He wanted it to embody everything a JLD knife is: great ergonomics, lefty-friendly, a great user experience, fun to open and close, and more. This represents the largest departure from his traditional aesthetics but still remains true to his love for clean lines and great details. Jacob hopes everyone enjoys the Vivid as much as he does and finds it as enjoyable to use!
