%20-%20A1303){kind=link}
The Blade
Inspired by the famous supersonic critter, the Vosteed Hedgehog is a super fun knife. Its 2.99” S35VN blade excels in edge retention and corrosion resistance. The modified sheepsfoot blade shape and lightly curved belly are well suited for slicing and cutting.
With a blade width of 1.30”, the Hedgehog packs a solid punch in a mid-size body. When closed, it won’t take up much space in your pocket or pouch. When it’s opened, the hedgehog will be ready to join action with you.
The Handle
Designed with ergonomics in mind, the Hedgehog incorporates a spacious finger groove as well as a generous finger choil on the blade. This combination not only allows different grip and holding positions but also improves precision cutting for dedicated jobs. To increase user control and overall aesthetics, CNC machined frag patterns are presented on the handle.
The Action
Equipped with a ceramic ball bearing and the Top Liner Lock, the Hedgehog offers snappy deployment with multiple options: back flipper, thumb stud, and fuller. The Top Liner Lock is intuitive when it’s paired with the button. To close the knife, simply press the button and your finger will not be in the cutting path.

Love this little guys, feels much nicer than you'd think for the price!
Hedgehog - Top Liner Lock (2.99" S35VN Blade & Micarta Handle) - A1303
To start, I love this lock. I also love the 2 tone look of the blade, it makes it pop. I appreciate the finger choil because if it wasn't there this knife would be too small for my hand. When I wrap my filangy (🤔😁) around that finger choil the rest of the handle just falls where it should. Nice and sharp out of the box and fun to fidget with. Another great one thanks to the Dr(Dr EDC) and the rest of the good folks at Vosteed.
First Vosteed I received that had real issues which was surprising considering it was a more "premium" blade steel compared to their other popular models. Button wasn't centered in the hole (almost no gap on top while the bottom had a large gap). Button was also tilted meaning the right side was lower than the left. Two small nicks on the blade face and to top it off blade was noticeably off center. To their credit the return/exchange process was easy. Hopefully the replacement will be better. This was the 6th knife purchased directly from Vosteed and none of the others had issues except maybe the mini nightshade. Only complaint with the mini nightshade is the detent is really light but decided it wasn't worth the effort to return/exchange it.
