Customer Reviews
Bought the gray one first, and it was pretty close to perfect. This one is definitely worth the upgrade with materials and finish. The slicing ability on this thing is just so good, as are the ergonomics.
Really wanted to like this company but seeing all of their button locks fail had me worried. Saw this Mini Nightshade in a cross bar lock and decided to try the premium version out....also a test run as I need several knifes this year for gifts. Really like the concept.
The company couldn't even spare a box to ship my knife in and just shipped the stock box/tin which came in destroyed. 5 minutes and several tools later I was finally able to open the tin. The knife, pouch, sticker & even extra omega springs are damaged.
Extremely disappointing as this is not a cheap knife. $100 for a Chinese knife is a lot and it speaks volumes when you don't even care to ship it properly. Even more disappointing is this is how my gifts would arrive as well, which is unacceptable.
Hopefully the company makes things right but I don't have the time to fix their mistakes.
The knife is actually really the only positive thing so far...Love the design and feel. The action is just as smooth as my best broken in Benchmade right out of the mangled tin.
Would've been an amazing gift & overall presentation if only you used a box instead of a bag....even better than my Benchmades.
**Update - Moved to 1 star.......24hrs slnce contacting and not one e-mail from Vosteed. No answer to email or their contact form, this was enough time for either any US or Asian customer service agent to respond. They have absolutely no US presence and their phones go no where? Is this even a real company? Just buy an S30V Benchmade Griptilian or Bugout for the same price, amazing lifetime warranty with sharpening and maintenance. Blade works very well but is unsafe currently, the detent is so weak that the blade opened in my pocket several times cause cuts to my hands. No customer service whatsoever, I'd be embarrassed if this was my blade design.**
It's finally in my hands. SO light, so sharp so pretty.
Un magnifique petit couteau bien construit pour tous les jours, léger discret et pas du tout agressif.
This little knife is a diminutive beast. It straight outdoes Benchmade at their own game and for a fraction of the price. Go Vosteed go!
