Vosteed Cutlery has recruited knife world superstar Ray Laconico for the incoming Vallhund. This collaboration knife sees Laconico doing what he does best to deliver a handsome, high performance EDC.
Vosteed describes Laconico’s style as “minimalist,” and that’s certainly true. In both his custom and production pieces (including those under his own label, Monterey Bay Knives), Laconico pares his patterns down to the bare essentials – but then works his magic to make those essentials feel fresh again. It takes a keen eye and a sure hand to make the commonplace seem special, but it’s a feat that Laconico pulls seemingly effortlessly.
A drop dead gorgeous clip point is on display here, measuring 3 inches long but sporting a forward-leaning, aggressive angle and proportions that really make the classic lines pop. Vosteed chose to lean on a reliable super steel here, rendering Laconico’s clip in S35VN; it’s the peanut butter to the blade shape’s chocolate, and together they add up to a natural fit for everyday carry cutting chores.
I need to drop my buddy Yue a line. He’s probably as bummed about his Sooners losing to Texas as I am about my Buckeyes wetting the bed against Oregon.
Oh, and nice looking knife.
