Review: Vosteed Porcupine

The Vosteed Raccoon is one of those knives that is easy to recommend to just about anyone. While Vosteed makes several knives that I like, it was the Raccoon that stood out as uber-recommendable. Well… There is another knife for everyone in the Vosteed lineup now – the Porcupine.

Specs

You can see the full specifications of the Porcupine at Vosteed.com. Check out the highlights below.

Overall Length:7.20″ | 183.00 mm

Blade Thickness:0.118″ | 3.00 mm

Blade Material:14C28N

Handle Material:Micarta

Weight:3.19 oz | 90.50 g

Observations from Use

This is a knife for everyone. That was my major takeaway from my time with this review sample. The handle? Comfortable. The blade shape? Versatile. The lock? Safe, strong, and easy to use. Easy to live with? You bet. I could just stop there but I’ll be a little more specific.

The Porcupine has a very excellent blade… for pretty much everything. 14C28N is, as we all know by now, a great steel. It is tough, corrosion-resistant, and holds an edge well. The drop point blade shape has an almost continuous curve and a very acute point. The tall flat grind tapers down to an appropriately thin edge.

The handle should fit just about anyone. It is large enough to get a full four-finger grip (for my medium-sized hands). It is flat but hand-filling and well-contoured. I find it to be very comfortable and more hand-filling than the venerable Raccoon.

The Porcupine has Vosteed’s top liner lock. This is a great choice for a true all-around knife. This lock offers plenty of strength with a crisp detent and incredible ease of use. It is just about ideal as an all-around option.

I really like the ease-of-use elements Vosteed baked into this design. The micarta handle slabs offer great grip without needing to be heavily textured so your pockets don’t get shredded. The wire pocket clip, which is new for Vosteed, has great tension and a minimal visual footprint. The blade has some extra jimping out near the tip so you can use your index finger to control the tip during cuts.

Wrap Up

The Porcupine is versatile. It is the kind of knife that a knife guy can just see in a picture and know it will work for anyone. I am running out of ways to say that this knife is good for anything and anyone. This one is EASY to recommend.

The Porcupine is available from Vosteed’s Amazon store: Vosteed Porcupine on Amazon.com
