Naxe: A Revolution in Hand Tools

Hakan Gürsu's Award-Winning Design for Search and Rescue Teams

Derived from the need for sturdy and stable tools in high-pressure environments, Naxe stands out in the realm of hand tools. Its unique design allows for an even distribution of force, minimizing vibration and maximizing cutting power. The use of high-tech materials, such as carbon steel for the body and lightweight carbon fiber for the handle, makes Naxe not only efficient but also lightweight and easy to handle.

The design of Naxe is rooted in practicality and versatility. The curved handle ensures an efficient grip and strike, while the interchangeable blade adds to its utility. A substitute blade is cleverly nested within the handle, ready for use when needed. This attention to detail and functionality is a testament to Gürsu's thoughtful design approach.

Offered with a sheath and leash, and available in various color options, Naxe is more than just a tool; it's a versatile accessory suitable for a range of manual tasks. This adaptability extends its appeal beyond search and rescue teams to anyone in need of a reliable, high-performance hand tool.

The creation of Naxe was not without its challenges. The main hurdle was designing a tool that felt like a natural extension of the user's arm. This required a deep understanding of ergonomics and user experience, areas in which Gürsu and his team at Designnobis excel. Their research, based on insights from emergency teams, was instrumental in shaping the final design.

With Naxe, Gürsu has once again demonstrated his design prowess and commitment to innovation. This tool is not just a testament to his talent, but also a reflection of his belief in the power of design to solve real-world problems. It's no surprise that Naxe was awarded the Golden A' Design Award, a recognition reserved for designs that advance art, science, and technology, and significantly impact the world with their desirable characteristics.
