The Vosteed Psyop is a performance-driven folding knife that blends premium materials, refined ergonomics, and smooth, engaging action into one streamlined EDC. Designed in collaboration with Geoff Blauvelt of Tuff Knives, the Psyop pairs a lightweight black carbon fiber handle with a capable Elmax blade and contrasting aluminum accents. It’s built for serious everyday use while offering the fit, finish, and satisfying operation that collectors and knife enthusiasts appreciate.
The 3.32-inch drop point blade is crafted from Elmax stainless steel and hardened to HRC 61±1, providing an excellent combination of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Its flat grind delivers an efficient cutting profile, while the versatile drop point shape makes it well suited to everything from opening packages and cutting cordage to general utility work. The stonewash finish gives the blade a rugged appearance and helps conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use.
The Psyop’s 4.70-inch carbon fiber handle provides a lightweight yet strong foundation with a smooth, comfortable feel in hand. The black carbon fiber construction gives the knife a modern, performance-oriented character while maintaining a clean visual flow. Aluminum and pop of blue accents on the pivot collar and backspacer add striking contrast and bring additional detail to the design. At 4.31 ounces, the Psyop offers a substantial feel without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome for everyday carry.
Action is a major part of the Psyop’s appeal. Its button-operated top liner lock combines straightforward operation with a secure lockup and an enjoyable fidget-friendly feel. The oblong stainless steel button is easy to access and integrates naturally into the handle design. A caged ceramic ball bearing pivot system provides smooth, responsive movement, while the blade can be deployed using either the thumb hole or front flipper.
The front flipper is precisely positioned and angled for a natural thumb-swipe opening motion. Once the blade is deployed, the flipper flows into the handle's lines to create a sleek, cohesive profile.
For convenient carry, the Psyop features a reversible deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip configured for tip-up carry. Its reversible design makes the knife suitable for both left- and right-handed users while keeping the profile discreet in your pocket.
Combining premium Elmax steel, carbon fiber construction, aluminum accents, and versatile deployment options, the Vosteed Psyop delivers refined performance in a rugged, modern package.
