SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Vosteed Psyop 299 is the definition of balance—compact enough for everyday carry, yet substantial enough to handle real work. Designed in collaboration with Geoff Blauvelt of Tuff Knives, this version captures the sweet spot between the large and small Psyop models. With its refined proportions, upgraded materials, and precisely tuned mechanics, it delivers a cutting experience that’s as smooth as it is satisfying.
At the core of the Psyop 299 is a 2.99-inch drop point blade crafted from premium Crucible S35VN stainless steel, known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The flat grind and stonewashed finish create a durable, low-maintenance working edge that stays sharp through heavy use. By reducing the choil and optimizing the blade-to-handle ratio, Vosteed maximized the cutting length—making every inch of that sub-3-inch blade count.
The handle showcases Norplex UltreX™ Micarta scales in a rich green finish, offering a warm, grippy texture that only improves with time. It’s complemented by dark gray titanium bolsters that add structure and balance while giving the knife a distinctive, asymmetrical profile. Every detail is thoughtfully considered—well-rounded chamfers, a full liner build for solid strength, and ergonomic shaping that sits naturally in the hand. Whether you’re at work, on the trail, or just opening boxes, the Psyop 299 feels like it was made for you.
Built around Vosteed’s precision-engineered Top Liner Lock, the action is confident, consistent, and easy to operate one-handed. The caged ceramic ball bearings ensure the blade deploys fast and smooth with a simple flick of the thumb stud. Once open, it locks up tight with zero play. Subtle jimping on the spine and handle gives extra traction where it counts, enhancing control without compromising comfort.
Practical touches complete the package—full T8 hardware for straightforward maintenance, a reversible deep-carry wire clip for ambidextrous carry, and a flush-mounted button for a sleek, unobtrusive profile. Even the enlarged lanyard hole shows the attention to function and detail that sets Vosteed apart.
Made with premium materials and tuned for perfect performance, the Psyop 299 stands as a reliable EDC built to last, designed to impress, and ready for anything. Cutting-edge balance meets everyday reliability—experience precision, power, and style in the Vosteed Psyop 299, available now at SMKW.
