The Hedgehog's hard-coated matte finish and CNC-machined frag pattern provide enhanced control while offering an eye-catching aesthetic. This unique design ensures a secure grip even in demanding environments.
Precisely machined weight relief pockets reduce user fatigue without compromising the knife's strength-to-weight ratio.
The double CNC chamfered corners further elevate both comfort and style, providing a refined look and feel. To top it off, each Hedgehog comes with a dedicated aluminum backspacer that not only adds to its overall durability but also contributes to its visual appeal.
S35VN 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”, When closed, the hedgehog is a cool and capable knife that packs a punch in a medium-sized body, making it the perfect everyday carry, leaving plenty of room for your other essentials. Open it up, and this little guy is ready to tackle any job you throw at it!
Smooth and Quick Deployment
The Hedgehog features multiple opening options, including a back flipper, thumb stud, and fuller. This is made possible by its ceramic ball bearing and Top Liner Lock mechanism, which ensure effortless operation. Additionally, the Top Liner Lock boasts an integrated button that provides intuitive closure, allowing users to avoid the cutting path when closing the knife for enhanced safety.
Customer Reviews
When this first came out I wanted it and then later didn't want it cause it looked too bulky. As time went by I started eyeing it again, it was calling me. Had to get it through another website cause it sold out. This was a diamond in the dirt for me. It turned out to exceed my expectations. So good that I got a second one, of the same color cause that's all was available. If they restocked I'd get one maybe two more of different color options. The top liner lock and the way it drops shut is great. And since the top liner lock doesn't require spring replacement, i don't have to worry in the future about the springs breaking and I can always depend on it. Fidgety great. Not as bulky as I initially thought it to be. This one is a beast and love it's solid construction and reliability.
i just love the hedgehogs, had to get a second
i have probably 25 knives and this one is my favorite.
Vosteed is my favorite knifemaker at the moment.
head to head they are stomping benchmade, kershaw (with the exception of the bel-air), spyderco, etc in comparable price ranges
i have their ankylo, a racoon, two hedgehogs, and a couple others that i can't remember the names of...
i love their button/liner lock system, i was really happy they redesigned the racoon to use this style button/liner lock.
now if only they would make a mini psyop with this lock. And a nightshade... maybe a mini RSKAOS too...
all with aluminum handles too... mmmm i'd jump all over that, and i'm sure i wouldn't be alone on that one.
This is a knife where you get what you pay for, besides all the hype I think this is a quality knife for the money you spend, I would love to see a titanium version! I only have minor complaints like blade finish which is personal preference, in the end it is a great knife and If you like the knife just buy it!!!
I got one on these for my sister and told her when they have one with metal scales, I'd buy one for myself... I did! Thoughtful design and a razor sharp blade, solid as it can be. I love it. You will, too. Very nice clip, strong lockup, easy to open, intuitive lock/unlock button. Highly recommended (shown in the photo with my Ankylo)!
I bought this with high expectations and I have to say it exceeded every one of them. I have a rather large collection of what I consider midrange to high end knives. This is what I consider high end quality at a super price. This is so user friendly and super smooth operation. The lock button compression lock is phenomenal. It is one of the few knives that came factory sharp! Everything about this is detailed high quality! This is knife user’s dream!
