Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Hole Folder 14C28N SW Blade Green Micarta Handle

The Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Hole Folder is a compact everyday carry knife built to deliver dependable performance with clean, practical design. Created by designer Yue, this manual folder blends durable materials, smooth operation, and comfortable ergonomics into a knife that’s equally at home in the pocket, on the job, or out on the trail.

At the center of the Porcupine is a 2.99-inch drop point blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel. This steel is widely respected for its excellent corrosion resistance, balanced toughness, and reliable edge retention, making it an ideal choice for daily carry. The blade features a flat grind that provides strong slicing performance and precise control across a wide range of cutting tasks. Finished in a durable stonewash, the blade resists visible wear and helps hide scratches from regular use. With a blade thickness of 0.118 inches and a hardness rating of HRC 59±1, it offers the right balance of strength and cutting efficiency for everyday work.

Deployment is fast and controlled thanks to the oversized thumb hole opener. The blade rides on a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly that delivers smooth, consistent action every time the knife is opened. Once deployed, the blade locks securely in place with Vosteed’s Top Liner Lock. This locking system provides reliable strength while remaining simple to disengage, allowing for confident one-handed operation when it’s time to close the blade.

The handle measures 4.16 inches and is constructed from green Micarta, a material prized for its durability, lightweight strength, and comfortable grip. Micarta develops character with use, giving the knife a naturally worn-in feel over time while maintaining dependable traction in the hand. The earthy green color offers a classic, understated look that pairs well with the working finish of the blade.

Subtle details give the Porcupine a distinctive touch. A golden aluminum pivot collar adds a refined accent to the handle, while the silver stainless steel button hardware keeps the overall design clean and balanced. Weighing just 3.19 ounces, the knife remains light enough for comfortable all-day carry without sacrificing strength.

A reversible stainless steel pocket clip supports tip-up carry and allows both left- and right-handed users to configure the knife to their preference. Combined with its compact size, smooth mechanics, and reliable materials, the Porcupine delivers a practical cutting tool designed to handle everyday tasks without unnecessary bulk.

The Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Hole Folder proves that a well-built EDC knife can be both capable and comfortable, offering smooth action, durable construction, and a timeless Micarta handle in a compact design that’s built for daily use.
