SHOP CASE KNIVESConfidence isn’t just a state of mind—it’s something you carry with you. The Vosteed Marten Button Lock Folding Knife embodies that philosophy, delivering a perfect balance of precision, style, and everyday reliability. From the first moment your fingertips meet the finely milled grooves of its sophisticated gray handle, you’ll know this knife was crafted with intent. Every curve, every texture, and every detail of the Marten speaks to those who demand a tool that performs as impressively as it looks.
The Marten was built for those who live prepared, blending strength, refinement, and practicality into one elegant design. Its contoured 6061 aluminum handle is micro-milled with precision—featuring 54 grooves per side, angled at 48°—to provide an unmatched grip and tactile control. Before its anodized finish is applied, the handle undergoes a meticulous ultrasonic cleaning process, ensuring a flawless, particle-free surface that’s as durable as it is striking. The result is a handle that feels both secure and sophisticated, ready for anything from daily tasks to special occasions.
Inside and out, the Marten represents Vosteed’s dedication to craftsmanship. Nested steel liners add structural integrity while maintaining a lightweight profile, and the integrated lanyard hole machined directly into the gray aluminum backspacer ensures lasting strength. Every screw in its construction is T8, simplifying maintenance and giving the knife a clean, uniform aesthetic. The pivot, finished with a smooth, jewelry-like precision, adds a touch of understated luxury to this functional masterpiece.
The 2.98-inch drop-point blade, forged from premium 154CM stainless steel and finished with a sleek satin finish, offers the perfect combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. Whether slicing through cordage or preparing ingredients, the Marten’s flat grind delivers consistent, controlled performance. Its innovative Top Liner Lock system merges the strength of a compression-based liner lock with the ease of a button-actuated mechanism, providing safe, smooth, one-handed operation. The button itself, textured with matching micro-grooves, enhances both style and usability.
The Marten provides easy portability with a low-profile, reversible stainless steel pocket clip designed for discreet tip-up carry. When closed, it measures 3.81 inches, and its skeletonized liners, along with the lightweight 2.9-ounce build, ensure comfort both in your pocket and in your hand.
The Vosteed Marten Button Lock Knife is made for professionals, adventurers, and EDC enthusiasts who expect excellence in every tool they own. It’s equally suited to the boardroom, the workshop, or the outdoors—a knife that doesn’t just meet expectations but exceeds them with quiet confidence.
