The Vosteed Raccoon Top Liner Lock Folder is built to deliver dependable everyday performance with a clean, purposeful design that reflects thoughtful engineering and practical carry. Designed by Yue Dong, this version of the popular Raccoon pairs durable materials with smooth operation, creating a folding knife that handles daily cutting tasks with confidence and precision.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.25-inch modified sheepsfoot blade crafted from reliable 14C28N stainless steel. Known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this steel performs exceptionally well in real-world use. The flat grind enhances slicing efficiency, while the straight cutting edge and reinforced tip of the modified sheepsfoot profile provide outstanding control for push cuts and detail work. Whether you're opening packages, trimming cord, breaking down cardboard, or tackling everyday tasks, the blade’s stonewashed finish helps hide wear while maintaining a clean, understated look.
Deployment is smooth and consistent thanks to the thumb stud opener and the caged ceramic ball bearing pivot assembly. The blade glides open with minimal effort, giving you quick, reliable access when you need it. Once deployed, the Top Liner Lock engages securely, offering strong lockup while maintaining a comfortable, user-friendly design. This innovative lock system combines security with easy operation, making it well suited for both experienced users and those new to modern folding knives.
The 4.36-inch handle is built from durable gray G10, a material well known for its strength, light weight, and dependable grip in a wide range of conditions. The textured surface offers excellent control without being overly aggressive in the pocket. Its ergonomic contouring fits naturally in the hand, helping reduce fatigue during extended use. Subtle chamfering along the edges improves comfort while maintaining the knife’s clean, modern profile.
At just 3.84 ounces, the Raccoon carries easily without sacrificing durability. A reversible stainless steel pocket clip supports tip-up carry and allows both left- and right-handed users to configure the knife for their preference. Additional details like the aluminum backspacer, aluminum thumb studs, and stainless steel hardware reinforce the knife’s solid construction and refined appearance.
From its capable blade geometry to its smooth action and durable materials, the Vosteed Raccoon is built to handle everyday cutting tasks with confidence while maintaining a sleek, professional look.
