Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Stud Folder 14C28N SW Blade Green Micarta Handle A2611

The Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Stud Folder is a compact everyday carry knife built for reliability, smooth action, and practical cutting performance. Designed by Yue, this manual folder delivers a balanced combination of durable materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and clean styling that makes it a dependable companion for daily tasks.

At the core of the Porcupine is a 2.99-inch drop point blade crafted from 14C28N stainless steel. This well-regarded steel is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and easy maintenance, making it an ideal choice for an everyday carry blade. The flat grind enhances slicing performance and gives the knife the versatility needed for everything from breaking down boxes to handling light utility work. A durable stonewash finish gives the blade a worn-in appearance that helps conceal scratches from regular use while maintaining a professional look. With a blade thickness of 0.118 inches and a hardness rating of HRC 59±1, the blade strikes a reliable balance between strength and cutting efficiency.

The Porcupine deploys quickly and smoothly using a stainless steel thumb stud with a striking golden finish. Paired with a caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system, the blade opens with fluid, controlled action that feels consistent and precise. Once the blade is fully deployed, the Top Liner Lock engages securely, keeping the blade stable during use while still allowing easy one-handed closure when the job is done.

The handle measures 4.16 inches and is constructed from green Micarta, a material valued for its strength, lightweight feel, and natural grip. Micarta develops character with time and use, gradually creating a worn-in texture that enhances both comfort and traction. The earthy green tone gives the knife a classic, field-ready appearance that pairs well with the stonewashed blade.

Attention to detail carries throughout the design. Golden stainless steel hardware accents the knife with both the thumb stud and pivot collar, providing subtle contrast against the Micarta scales. The gray stainless steel button hardware adds another layer of refinement while maintaining the knife’s clean, functional look.

Weighing 3.48 ounces, the Porcupine remains easy to carry without feeling flimsy or overly light. 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 footprint and dependable build, the Porcupine is well suited for daily pocket carry whether you're at work, around the house, or outdoors.

The Vosteed Porcupine Thumb Stud Folder delivers smooth deployment, durable construction, and practical everyday performance in a compact design built to handle the demands of daily carry.

The Porcupine brings style to serious cutting with a touch of golden hardware flair, available at SMKW.
