Last year at the Blade Show, I noticed the Corgi Trek at Vosteed Knife. I was struck by the size, shape, and interesting opening mechanism.
First, a little about Vosteed Knife. Vosteed was started in 2021 by Johnny and Yue Dong. The plant is located in China. They work with several international designers like Geoff Blauvelt and Ray Laconico, to name a few. The mission statement declares, “Honesty is a core business value.” I have always found the best knife companies have simple, understandable statements about fundamental values.
Yue Dong is the in-house designer responsible for the Teck Lock on Corgi knives. I like Vosteed Knife. I spent more than a bit of money at their booth at 2024 Blade.
Yue is my buddy. He used to be one of the main designers for Kizer. He left to follow his dream, and it has been nice to see him claw out a space for himself, his company, and his ideas in an increasingly crowded marketplace. We have a set of 4 Vosteed knives to give away for the WOT once we finish with our current drawing.
