A Collaboration with Ray Laconico

Named after the Swedish term for shepherd dog, the Vosteed Vallhund is our latest collaboration with Yue's long-time friend Ray Laconico. Just like the spirited and athletic yet steady and dependable Vallhund, this dual-deployment titanium frame lock is a solid, no-nonsense EDC performer.

Designed with Ray's distinctive minimalist style, the Vallhund is a joy to use. Deploy the blade with either the thumb studs or the slightly oversized front flipper, and watch it glide smoothly on ceramic ball bearings. The clip point blade, combined with strategically placed jimping for a controlled grip, makes the Vallhund extraordinarily satisfying to use and play with. The titanium handle features a traditional form with amazing ergonomics, milled with a contoured curve for a comfortable grip.

The Vallhund is built to last, with a titanium frame lock bar employing a hardened steel insert to extend the knife's service life. Carry the Vallhund securely with the sleek and clean 3D-milled titanium pocket clip. Every small, thoughtful detail of this knife complements your everyday carry needs.

 

Features:

· Ray's signature minimalist design style

· CPM-S35VN for best-in-class stable edge retention and superior corrosion resistance

· Contoured titanium handles for a comfortable, ergonomic grip

· Anodized titanium handles with a stonewash finish adds extra aesthetics

· 3D milled titanium pocket clip for secure tip-up carry and aesthetics

· Ceramic ball bearing systems for ultra-smooth actions

· Dual thumb studs and Front Flipper deployment for easy deployment

· Titanium Frame Lock with Hardened steel insert for extended service time

I still don't have it so I can't rate it

It shows as shipped and received in NY but that's all I know. I have reached out to Vosteed support and they are looking into it. Very disappointed at this point, as you say it has been 14 days.

Not a good design.

First I like the feel, size and bladeshape. I don't like the lockbar access, lock stick and placement of the stop pin (means not much of a sharpening life). I wouldn't buy again!
