SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Vosteed Raccoon Top Liner Lock Folder continues to build on the reputation of one of Vosteed’s most trusted everyday carry designs. Designed by Yue Dong, this version of the Raccoon combines practical cutting performance with refined materials and smooth mechanical action. It’s built for people who want a dependable folder that handles everyday tasks with precision while offering a distinctive look in the pocket.
At the center of the design is a 3.25-inch modified sheepsfoot blade crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. This steel is well known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it ideal for a hardworking everyday carry knife. The modified sheepsfoot blade profile provides a straight cutting edge and a subtly reinforced tip, allowing for highly controlled cuts and dependable slicing performance. Whether you're opening packages, trimming rope, breaking down cardboard, or handling detail work, this blade offers excellent precision and control. A straight fuller along the blade adds visual depth while giving the knife a sleek, refined appearance.
The blade is finished in Vosteed’s striking Copper Dune coating, a warm-toned finish that adds character while helping conceal the marks of daily use. Combined with the flat grind, the blade slices efficiently through a wide variety of materials with minimal resistance, making it a practical choice for daily cutting tasks.
Deployment is quick and smooth thanks to the thumb stud opener and the caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly. The knife operates with impressive fluidity, allowing for confident one-handed opening. The Top Liner Lock mechanism paired with a button-operated release provides solid lockup and easy disengagement, offering both safety and convenience during use.
The 4.36-inch handle is constructed from green micarta, giving the knife a comfortable, textured grip that feels secure in the hand. Micarta is prized for its durability and warm tactile feel, and it develops a unique character over time with use. Carefully chamfered edges improve ergonomics and help reduce fatigue during longer cutting sessions. At just 0.488 inches thick and weighing 3.84 ounces, the knife offers a balanced feel that’s substantial without being bulky.
A reversible stainless steel tip-up pocket clip allows for convenient left- or right-handed carry, while the aluminum backspacer and copper-toned accents complement the blade finish and complete the knife’s cohesive design.
Blending thoughtful engineering, practical performance, and refined styling, the Vosteed Raccoon Modified Sheepsfoot is built to handle everyday cutting with confidence.
