Customer Reviews
There is no way to understand the attraction to this knife until you try one. I looked past the Nightshade for a very long time because I just did not get it. After so many positive reviews I decided to give one a try. This purchase makes nine of them in my collection. Out of around 150 great EDC knives I own I just keep coming back to one of my Nightshades. If you have not tried one yet I strongly recommend it.
Good ergonomics, I’ve got big hands and it somehow feels right. I like the blade shape quite a bit more than I thought I would. Fit and finish is always good with Vosteed. Very clean right out of the box.
This knife was far better than I thought it was going to be! The feel of the handle and the weight in my hand is a work or art!! The curve of the blade is a perfect complement to it size! Will definitely be buying more
