THE MELODY

My latest collaboration and first ever slipjoint design is now available! The Munko Knives x Kizer Knives “Melody” is a very personal piece to me, as it is the first true crossover of my love for both making music and designing folding knives.

One version comes with a deep, saturated rosewood inlay, commonly used on the bodies and fretboards of acoustic guitars. The second version takes things to a different place, incorporating rainbow Damascus and crystallized titanium inlays which is representative of the more creative paint finishes found on many boutique instruments from brands like Aristides, Mayones, etc.

I also created a song to complement the release of the Melody. You can stream it on all platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and more. Just search “Paul Munko - Melody". The song debuted at the Blade Show 2026, during Kizer Meet event where I was fortunate enough to perform it live in front of some of my closest industry friends.

As always, thank you all for your continued support. Being able to work on projects like this is one of the greatest bringers of joy in my life, and I wouldn’t be able to have these opportunities without all of you here. I hope you all like the design and song!
