Vosteed knives
Vosteed makes folding and fixed-blade knives, with designs ranging from compact pocket models to larger options for outdoor tasks. Founded in 2021 by Johnny and Yue, the company describes its work as a collaboration among designers, makers and knife enthusiasts. Model configurations vary, so blade steel, handle material and locking mechanism depend on the specific knife.
The Raccoon and Ankylo are larger folding options, while the compact Corgi V suits pocket carry. For a fixed blade, the Mink offers a different format for trail and general outdoor use. These families provide a useful starting point for comparing size, style and construction.
Choosing a Vosteed knife
Vosteed’s folding knives cover different carry preferences and tasks. The Corgi V has a 2.36-inch drop-point blade and Vanchor Lock, making it a compact pocket option. The Raccoon family has 3.25-inch blades in listed configurations and includes both crossbar-lock and top-liner-lock versions. These locking mechanisms differ, so check the exact model listing to confirm which one a particular knife uses. The Ankylo is a larger folder with a 3.18-inch tanto blade and Vanchor Lock, suited to customers who prefer a pointed tanto profile. The fixed-blade Mink skips the folding mechanism and comes in versions with 3.33- or 3.99-inch blades, offering a straightforward option for trail and outdoor use.
Materials and configurations
Steel and handle materials vary by model and configuration rather than following one brand-wide specification. Raccoon versions include 14C28N or Nitro-V steel and handles in materials such as Micarta, G10 and carbon fiber. Corgi V listings include 14C28N blades with aluminum or G10 handles, as well as selected titanium-handle configurations. Ankylo versions use Elmax or 154CM steel with aluminum handles. Mink configurations include 14C28N, AEB-L or Nitro-V blades, with Micarta or G10 handles. These names identify the materials used; compare the specific listing when choosing a configuration, since materials are not shared across every version of a family.
Brand background
Vosteed was founded in 2021 by Johnny and Yue around collaboration with designers, makers and users. Its product range includes pocket, fixed-blade and kitchen knives, with a broad selection of blade shapes and locking mechanisms across its folding models. For a pocket-friendly folder, compare the Corgi V with the larger Raccoon; choose the Ankylo for its tanto blade, or consider the Mink if you prefer a fixed blade. Confirm each model’s dimensions and configuration before choosing.
