The Vosteed Parallel is a compact, capable folder that combines premium materials, smooth operation, and a rugged, understated aesthetic. Designed by Vosteed, this model features an acid wash black titanium handle with a subtle etched spiderweb pattern, paired with a two-tone acid wash and stonewashed S35VN tanto blade. It’s built for everyday carry while bringing enough character to stand out from the crowd.
The 2.90-inch tanto blade is crafted from S35VN stainless steel and hardened to HRC 60±1, providing a well-rounded combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its flat grind gives the blade a practical cutting profile, while the tanto shape adds a reinforced point and strong tip for demanding cutting tasks. The acid wash and stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged appearance and helps mask the scratches and wear that come with regular use. A bronze/gold thumb stud provides a contrasting accent and makes manual deployment quick and convenient.
The titanium handle provides a solid, durable foundation while preserving the Parallel’s slim, streamlined profile. A subtle etched spiderweb pattern adds visual depth and a distinctive touch without overpowering the clean design. The acid wash black finish complements the blade’s darker treatment, while the 4.13-inch handle provides a secure platform for controlled cutting. At just 2.36 ounces, the Parallel delivers substantial performance without adding unnecessary weight to your pocket.
A caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly keeps the action smooth and responsive, while the crossbar lock provides a secure, ambidextrous locking mechanism. Whether you’re opening packages, cutting cordage, breaking down cardboard, or handling routine outdoor chores, the Parallel is designed to be ready when you need it.
For convenient everyday carry, the knife features a reversible stainless steel pocket clip with a tip-up carry position. A stainless steel backspacer adds structural support and completes the streamlined construction.
With its premium S35VN blade, lightweight titanium construction, distinctive spiderweb detailing, and rugged acid wash finishes, the Vosteed Parallel delivers practical performance with plenty of personality. It’s a compact EDC built to work hard and carry comfortably.
