The Vosteed Raccoon ModSwap™ Folding Knife combines rugged utility, modern performance, and understated styling in a versatile everyday carry design. Featuring a black Micarta handle and a stonewashed Nitro-V drop point blade, this manual folder delivers a clean, tactical appearance built for users who value practical function and dependable construction. Designed by Yue Dong, the Raccoon ModSwap™ brings together quality materials, smooth operation, and thoughtful details in a streamlined package that's ready for everyday cutting tasks, outdoor adventures, and general utility work.
The 3.17-inch drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a capable blade steel known for its balanced combination of toughness, edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Its flat grind provides an efficient cutting profile suited to a variety of daily jobs, from opening packages and slicing cord to handling routine tasks around camp or the workshop. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a rugged, subdued appearance while helping mask the minor scratches and wear that can develop through regular use. With a hardness rating of HRC 59±1 and a blade thickness of 0.118 inches, this Raccoon is designed to offer reliable cutting performance in a practical folding format.
The 4.38-inch handle features black Micarta scales that complement the blade's dark, work-ready finish. Measuring 1.15 inches wide and 0.472 inches thick, the handle offers a substantial, comfortable profile without adding unnecessary bulk. Micarta brings a classic, durable character to the design, making this knife an appealing choice for users who appreciate straightforward materials and rugged styling. Aluminum accents on the thumb stud and backspacer add a touch of contrast while reinforcing the knife's modern look.
A convenient thumb stud allows for smooth, controlled blade deployment, while the crossbar lock provides secure blade retention during use and supports easy one-handed closing. The caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot assembly helps deliver fluid, responsive action, making the knife comfortable to operate throughout the day. Together, these features create a practical design that balances ease of use with dependable functionality.
For everyday carry, the Raccoon ModSwap™ includes a reversible stainless steel pocket clip and a matching stainless steel clip plate, allowing you to configure it for your preferred side. The tip-up carry position keeps the knife accessible, while its 7.59-inch overall length and manageable 3.75-ounce weight make it a capable companion without excessive bulk.
