VOSTEED Porcupine Knife Review: A Compact EDC Blade with Big Potential

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Jimping with Jacrispy blog review! In today’s video, we’re diving into a brand-new offering from Vosteed—the Vosteed Porcupine. This is a knife that has quickly caught attention for its sleek design and impressive features, so let's take a closer look and see if it lives up to the hype.

Unboxing the Vosteed Porcupine

Before we jump into the details of the knife itself, let’s talk about the packaging. The Vosteed Porcupine comes in a clean, minimalist box with a muted color scheme that feels premium. The Vosteed logo is prominently featured, and the font used on the box is modern and sharp, matching the knife's aesthetic.

On the front of the box, you'll find the Vosteed logo, along with a brief description of the knife, while the back includes some key specifications and features. Inside the box, along with the knife, you'll find some additional goodies—like a cleaning cloth to keep your blade pristine and a few stickers to rep the brand. It's always nice to see little extras that make the unboxing experience feel special.

Handle Material and Ergonomics

The handle of the Vosteed Porcupine is made of G10, and the version we’re reviewing today has a smooth gray G10 handle that looks great while providing excellent durability and grip. The handle is 4.16 inches long, which gives the knife a compact but comfortable feel in the hand. The ergonomics are solid, offering a good grip, and it feels just right for EDC tasks.

Another feature worth noting is the lanyard hole at the end of the handle, which is a small but useful addition for those who like to attach their knives to gear or simply prefer the added security.

Blade Features

Now, let’s move on to the star of the show—the blade. The Vosteed Porcupine comes with a 2.99-inch 14C28N steel blade with a drop point style that is both functional and versatile. The steel is a solid choice for a knife at this price point, providing a great balance of sharpness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance.

The flat grind ensures smooth slicing, and the gray blade finish adds a bit of flair without being too flashy. The blade also features some nice jimping on the spine, which provides added traction for precision cuts. The thumb studs make it easy to deploy the blade with one hand, making it an ideal option for quick access in daily use.

Locking Mechanism and Clip

In terms of the lock, the Vosteed Porcupine utilizes a liner lock—a dependable and secure mechanism that is simple to use and ensures the blade stays in place when deployed.

Additionally, this knife is equipped with a reversible pocket clip, making it left- and right-handed carry friendly. Whether you prefer to carry it tip-up or tip-down, the reversible pocket clip ensures you can tailor the knife to your carry preferences. It's always nice to see that level of customization.

Size and Specifications

To wrap up, let's quickly run through the specs. The Vosteed Porcupine has an overall length of 7.15 inches, which makes it a compact but capable EDC blade. The gray G10 handle measures 4.16 inches long, and the 14C28N steel blade is 2.99 inches long.

For those who enjoy precise, easy-to-carry knives that don’t take up too much pocket space, the Vosteed Porcupine is a perfect option.
