Vosteed Corgi-V: A Compact and Functional EDC Knife

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another exciting blog review with Jacrispy! In today’s review, we’re diving into the Vosteed Corgi-V, a new addition to Vosteed’s impressive lineup of knives. Whether you're an avid collector or a first-time buyer, this knife might just pique your interest. So, let’s jump straight into it!

Unboxing Experience

The Vosteed Corgi-V comes in a sleek, minimalist box that sets the tone for what’s inside. The exterior features a clean, simple design, with the Vosteed logo subtly embossed in the center. The box is predominantly black with white text, giving it a sophisticated, modern feel. Upon opening, you’ll be greeted by the knife nestled securely inside, accompanied by some thoughtful extras. Inside the box, you'll find a cleaning cloth to keep your knife looking pristine, along with a couple of Vosteed stickers, adding a nice touch for fans of the brand.

First Impressions: A Compact EDC Blade

Now, let’s take a closer look at the Vosteed Corgi-V itself. This compact knife stands out with its sturdy construction and practical design. The Corgi-V is available in five different variants, each catering to different tastes, whether you’re looking for a classic look or something a little more colorful. You can find all of these variants available on Vosteed’s website as of this video’s release.

The version I have here features a green aluminum handle, which provides both style and durability. The handle is sleek and comfortable, measuring 3.48 inches, making it easy to grip for everyday tasks. Unfortunately, there is no lanyard hole, but the knife’s design compensates with a solid and ergonomic feel in hand.

Blade Performance & Specifications

The Corgi-V comes with a 2.36-inch drop-point blade crafted from 14C28N steel. This steel is known for its great balance of sharpness and corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for an EDC knife. The blade finish is a stonewash, which not only looks great but also hides wear marks, maintaining the knife’s aesthetics over time.

The drop-point blade is both functional and versatile, perfect for cutting tasks ranging from opening packages to food prep. The jimping on the spine offers a secure grip for controlled cuts, which is always a plus when working with a smaller knife.

One of the standout features of the Corgi-V is the Vanchor lock, which provides smooth and reliable operation. It's easy to deploy the blade with the thumb studs, and the action feels fluid, even for those new to using lock mechanisms. However, the pocket clip is not reversible, which could be a downside for some, though it still ensures secure carry.
