Nightshade® - Shilin Cutter - Liner Lock Knife (3.26" Elmax Blade & Micarta Handle) - NSK002
%20-%20NSK002){kind=link}
Inspired by the traditional Shilin Cutter and Kukri, Vosteed Nightshade is a modern interpretation of the time-honored ethnic designs.
Well-thought-out Blade Shape
It features a full-flat grind and a wide full-bellied plain cutting edge. The purposefully designed low blade tip position and extra blade width for outstanding cutting and slicing performance.
The blade cutting edge drops downward creating a negative blade angle, which allows the blade cutting edge to lower than the user's index finger so the wrist is in alignment. It is comfortable when you use the knife for a long period of time, it requires less pressure to be applied by your wrist.
Premium Material
Crafted from Bohler Elmax steel, high-end stainless steel, is known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This steel is perfect for outdoor activities like camping and hunting.
Snappy Action
Equipped with a sturdy liner lock, and a ceramic ball bearing, it features a fast and easy one-handed deployment. You can easily flip and flick open the knife with a thumbhole and a flipper.
Great Ergonomics
The contoured and curved handles can not only give you comfortable feelings but also positive and secure control in slippery conditions.
Extra Security
The titanium deep-carry pocket clip is not only durable, rust-free, and lightweight, but also it provides a sleek and low-profile look.

Customer Reviews
Mine came with a perfectly tuned action, solid detent strength and it was centered nicely. The liners look like they will hold up to medium use with no issues and the eggplant shaped handle fits great for medium sized hands but works great in large or small handed folk that prefer small and large knives respectively. The blade is perfect for slicing it is relatively thin and pointed downward especially at the tip so it excells at every day tasks like opening letters, boxes, and if you clean the blade and use food safe lubricants the regular Nightshade actually works very well for slicing many types of food especially sausages and things like apples, pears or even cheese. The pocket clip is a good size and location and it is inset into the micarta but my only complaint about the knife in general is that the clip is not reversible for lefties.
I love the original nightshade. But wow. With the elmax. Incredibly smooth. My favorite knife I own now
The Nightshade is a beautifully crafted and well tuned blade. It fits naturally in your hand. I couldn't be happier with this great Vosteed knife.
Missed out on the original limited edition Nightshade. This Elmax blade with the brass bolsters and micarta scales fills that void in my collection. Incredible fit and finish. Dual deployment is an upgrade to the original. Best action of any Nightshade I've bought to date. This is my new EDC
10/10 💯% reccomend
I have nothing bad to say , one of the best edc knives ever ! I have a cheaper nightshade th as well that I also highly recommend!
