CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt to handle real work without fuss, the Vosteed Porcupine is a compact everyday carry knife that refuses to be overlooked. Its 2.9-inch 14C28N drop point blade delivers a rugged balance of edge retention, strength, and corrosion resistance you can count on whether you’re slicing cordage, tackling field chores, or opening boxes after a long day. The broad belly gives solid cutting surface, and the flat grind lets the edge bite confidently and release cleanly.
The handle is finished in rich brown Micarta that feels substantial without being bulky, and its textured contours give a sure grip even when conditions are less than perfect. Jimping on the spine adds purchase when you’re pushing through tougher materials, and the overall length stays comfortable in grip without feeling oversized for daily carry. A reversible stainless pocket clip means you can carry the Porcupine right where you want it, tip-up or tip-down.
Deployment and lockup are engineered with purpose. A generously sized thumb hole lets you bring the blade to life with fluid motion, and the liner lock engages solidly to hold the blade where it belongs under load. Bearings at the pivot keep action crisp and dependable, so flicking the blade open becomes instinctive. The overall balance of materials and mechanics speaks to thoughtful design rarely found at this price point.
Despite its modest size, this knife feels ready for serious use. It doesn’t shy away from demanding cutting tasks, and its weight stays friendly in pocket for all-day carry. Whether you’re heading out for a day in the woods, working around the house, or just want a dependable blade at your side, the Porcupine earns its place in your gear rotation.
