The Vosteed Psyop 299 Folder in S35VN with a black stonewash blade and black Norplex UltreX Micarta handle delivers a clean, understated take on everyday carry with a focus on dependable performance and practical design. Built around a compact 2.99-inch drop point blade, it offers controlled cutting capability in a size that’s easy to carry and quick to deploy. At 7.17 inches overall, it strikes a strong balance between pocket comfort and real-world utility.
The blade is crafted from premium S35VN stainless steel, a trusted modern alloy known for its excellent balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black stonewash finish gives it a subdued, low-glare appearance while also helping to mask wear from daily use. It’s a finish that looks at home in both hard-use environments and everyday settings. The flat grind enhances slicing efficiency, allowing the blade to move cleanly through a wide range of materials with minimal resistance. At 3.00 mm thick, it maintains a strong, stable profile that supports consistent performance under repeated use.
Deployment is handled through a thumb stud opener, providing fast, controlled access with a familiar and reliable motion. It’s smooth, direct, and built for one-handed operation without unnecessary complication. The top liner lock secures the blade with confidence, delivering solid lockup that feels stable during use while still allowing easy, controlled closure when the work is done.
The handle is constructed from black Norplex UltreX Micarta, giving the Psyop 299 a cohesive, monochromatic look with a textured surface that enhances grip and control. The Micarta offers a secure hold in a variety of conditions while maintaining a comfortable feel in hand. Over time, the material develops subtle character through use, adding depth to its appearance without sacrificing performance.
A reversible stainless steel pocket clip adds practical versatility, allowing for flexible carry options to suit different preferences. At 3.73 ounces, the knife has a solid, grounded feel without becoming cumbersome in the pocket, making it suitable for extended everyday carry.
Every aspect of the Psyop 299 reflects Vosteed’s commitment to functional design and modern EDC performance. It’s built for users who value straightforward reliability, durable materials, and a clean, cohesive aesthetic. Nothing is overdone—everything serves a purpose, and every detail supports real-world use.
