About Designer

Jacob Lundquist was born and raised in northern Minnesota and recently moved to the big city of Minneapolis. With a Bachelor's of Science in Design, he has been an Industrial Designer, CNC Machinist, and Manufacturing Engineer for nearly 20 years. Jacob has always had a passion for knives, starting with a Swiss Army Knife given to him when he was young. Despite cutting himself immediately, he was hooked. Since then, he can’t remember a time when he didn’t have a pocket knife on him.

In June of 2021, he officially established Qvist Bladeworks LLC. Now, Jacob is expanding his focus to design and create more EDC (Everyday Carry) items, custom knives, production runs, and more. This vision led to the creation of Jacob Lundquist Design. Through design collaborations, Jacob feels he can explore new possibilities within the EDC world, experimenting with more than just knives.

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!
