Vosteed and Kizer are just plain showing their heels to the rest of the makers. All of their products are outstanding. I carry a small fixie every day and find that the clip is a bit bulky. I pitch mine and use soft loops for appendix or scout carry.

I also like the loops! They keep everything low profile

I agree with the premise of this video, and Vosteed has it dialed in with regard to the balance between quality and usability. I wish they had added a minimized backflipper to the Acorn, similar to either the Chipmunk or the Ankylo.

Personally I like the absence of the flipper because it allows for a finger cutout to get a full grip, with a flipper you'd sacrifice a full grip and some ergos

@@Rollshambo yes I agree that a prominent back flipper can cause issues such as you mentioned, hence the minimized back flipper. If you noticed on the Chipmunk, the Ankylo, and knives like the Kizer Gavel, the minimized back flipper does not sacrifice ergos or prevent choke up on the knife.

Great point about being hesitant to carry an expensive knife, and cheap knives not holding an edge. I agree, at least that’s how my brain works 😂

Nicely done Will. Vosteed (across the board) does a very good job producing quality EDC pieces. Thanks for a very nice review.

I do like what Vos is doing, but I keep wanting LARGER/LONGER knives from them. Love the styles for sure.

Same here and kizer as well. Make a 3.5 or larger blade

I like these. Just got my 1st Vosteed yesterday, the Vosteed x County Comm Collab Ultem Mini Nightshade, and I fricking love it!

Vosteed is having a real "Look at me, I'm the captain now" kind of year ain't they?

I just swapped out the bearings on my Vosteed Gator for thick pb washers and it's now the perfect camp knife (tended to get dirt in bearings before)

Aluminum scales and a backspacer 🤔 Vosteed is making me but one. Would be nice to see a premium version in the future

@Rollshambo

What I like about this version in the hardcoated aluminum is that you get s35 and a nice scale material but not so nice someone would feel bad to carry it, often I hear how people feel bad about scratching their titanium scales or blade but this is a great blend that gives people confidence to carry..not that I wouldn't love to also have a titanium version😂

@Rollshambo I feel you on that 100%. I own several Reate made knives, and when I carry one of them, I ALWAYS have another knife with me to actually use🤣

I picked up the acorn. ❤

I feel like vosteed and kunwu both are going to absolutely kill it this year. 6 months in and they have always surprised everybody.

@@Rollshambo I’ve been hunting a stonewashed putter milled version as a user for a while now. Not a purchase you just settle for.

LMAO at California (Interestingly, Texas has a 5.5" length restriction for bars).

Really digging the hedgehog. The mink would be a perfect discrete edc if they would have made a taco sheath. Really no need to paracord strap on holes on a slim compact fixie. Thanks for the vid!

Vosteeds lookin good

I have the Acorn and love it..the Anklyo is on the way as well as the Raccoon Cub... guess I need to jump on the Hedgehog

Great video, thx for sharing

Vosteed is always a good choice. And on par are both Kizer and Kubey. Honestly, does anyone do 14C28N better than Kubey?

Vosteed is up there with kubey on 14c but too many companies are happy to give us 59 rc when that steel is a different animal at 60-62 cryotreated
