THE BLADE
The Corgi features a 2.99'' 14C28N modified drop point blade with a flat grind. It offers both great EDC carriablity as well as functionality. The compact size also makes it an awesome short-trip companion.
THE HANDLE
The handle of Corgi uses a mirror-like symmetrical design. With the 180 rotation angle, the blade will magically disappear from the handle. The sleek and rounded profile not only feels great in hand but also makes it a great office and dinner knife.
THE ACTION
The Corgi utilizes our patented Trek Lock mechanism. With the two symmetrically placed front/standard flippers and the ball bearing system, this folder is packed with tons of playability and functionality.
THE DETAILS
The plate inserts not only provide extra structural stability but also add unique aesthetics. The brass version brings looks retro and classy, while the white G10 version looks modern and clean.
The recessed textured button increases control over the action of the knife. The color-matched backspacer has a lanyard attachment and adds paring aesthetics.
Customer Reviews
Looking at these online they didn't seem very... fun or ergonomic and I was hesitant to get one for a while. But then I thought why not, they look like they'd be a nice pocket fit and front and rear flipper action should be fun.
In the hand these things are super smooth, the feel is such a quality knife and so so satisfying to deploy and fidget with. I have just order the mini tonight that's how much I enjoy just fidgeting... and super sharp.
Complaints? No nothing worth complaining about, but a couple of things that I've noticed: the pivot collar looked like more G10 or similar but is actually a metal sheet which can scratch up if you put a couple of knives in your pocket and discolour with fingers or grease. Now this does give it character and I'm starting to enjoy the uniqueness it gives your knife. The other thing is really only if you're OCD, as I tend to be at times, the knife is almost a master class of symmetry and it just exudes simplicity and grace, but the clip of mine isn't perfectly centred to the pivot and when I look down the clip I want it to be pointing dead centre and it doesn't.
All in all it is an amazing knife and I wish I had bought more of these instead of some other knives. I highly recommend!
VOSTEED is a very good knife maker… Super sharp out of the box, this knife arrives in perfect condition requiring ZERO break in unlike many far more expensive knives. I’m sold on VOSTEED quality. Just snagged a Raccoon Top Liner Lock … another super product.
Sharp as can be and made with G10 scales 14C28N blade. The price is very reasonable as always
I ordered this knife for my lady and it works wonderfully however it tends to open in her pocket and have given her several nasty bites on her fingers while trying to retrieve it.
This is my 7th Vosteed pocket knife and second Corgi. Great appearance, the purple is just right, and a sharp centered blade. I really like the fidget-ability of the Corgi but I was having trouble with this one being difficult to deploy and the button sticking. Luckily after adding some tri flow oil it was running as smooth as my copper Corgi.
