Vosteed Hedgehog Top Linerlock Black Micarta A1303

The Vosteed Hedgehog Top Linerlock is built for those who expect a compact knife to feel like a full-size tool. Purpose-driven and unapologetically utilitarian, it starts strong with a 2.99" CPM S35VN stainless steel sheepsfoot blade wearing a clean bead blast finish. The sheepsfoot profile is a favorite among serious EDC users for a reason — exceptional control, flat working edge, zero nonsense. Whether you're breaking down heavy packaging, doing precise draw cuts, or working in tight space, it drives straight into the job without needing finesse. CPM S35VN brings proven edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, giving this knife the high-end steel pedigree demanded by modern enthusiasts.

Deployment is fast and deliberate via dual thumb studs, with tuned action that snaps confidently into lockup. The linerlock is solid, secure, and easy to disengage without feeling flimsy or sticky. Vosteed nails that balance between fidget-friendly and field-capable performance. It's a knife you can enjoy playing with at a desk, but won't hesitate to press into daily duty when work calls.

The handle scales are black micarta — lightweight, durable, and grippier with use as it develops its own character over time. Milled texture adds tactile traction without snag, making the Hedgehog secure in hand even when wet or gloved. The ergonomics are intentionally neutral but stout, offering control in both forward precision grip and full four-finger hold despite its compact nature. A tip-up pocket clip keeps it discreet and ready for immediate access, riding secure without printing or dragging.

At just 3.78oz and 7.11" overall, it's the definition of efficient tool-to-carry ratio. The Hedgehog doesn’t try to be flashy. It’s purpose-built, tuned right, and engineered to be the knife you actually reach for over and over again — at work, on the road, or out in the field.

The black micarta handle matched with the bead-blasted S35VN sheepsfoot makes this a modern workhorse disguised as a gentleman’s size.
