Nightshade - Shilin Cutter - Liner Lock Knife (3.26" Elmax Blade & G10 Handle) - NSK003
%20-%20NSK003){kind=link}
Inspired by the traditional Shilin Cutter and Kukri, Vosteed Nightshade is a modern interpretation of the time-honored ethnic designs.
Well-thought-out Blade Shape
It features a full-flat grind and a wide full-bellied plain cutting edge. The purposefully designed low blade tip position and extra blade width for outstanding cutting and slicing performance.
The blade cutting edge drops downward creating a negative blade angle, which allows the blade cutting edge to lower than the user's index finger so the wrist is in alignment. It is comfortable when you use the knife for a long period of time, it requires less pressure to be applied by your wrist.
Premium Material
Crafted from Bohler Elmax steel, high-end stainless steel, is known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. This steel is perfect for outdoor activities like camping and hunting.
Snappy Action
Equipped with a sturdy liner lock, and a ceramic ball bearing, it features a fast and easy one-handed deployment. You can easily flip and flick open the knife with a thumbhole and a flipper.
Great Ergonomics
The contoured and curved handles can not only give you comfortable feelings but also positive and secure control in slippery conditions.
Extra Security
The titanium deep-carry pocket clip is not only durable, rust-free, and lightweight, but also it provides a sleek and low-profile look.

Customer Reviews
Bought this Jade/Titanium version and the Micarta/Brass version together. The brass version's action is only a hair better than this one's (I'm sure it'll be perfect after a little breaking in). Better action than my previous Nightshades. The materials on this one make it special. It's absolutely beautiful. Fit and finish is awesome.
This is one of those knives that is hard to put down, because of the fidget factor and it is a fantastic product. I have now bought many knives from Vosteed and plan to keep doing so.
One of the smoothest Vosteeds that I've purchased. All of the Vosteed blades I've purchased are of top quality. Great job to the Vosteed team & Yue Dong for his ingenious designs.
The Elmax Nightshade in Natural G-10 is a refreshing take on an old Chinese blade shape. Excellent action open and close with choice of thumb hole or flipper tab. Comfortable in the hand with super slicey flat grind blade. A Winner!
Action is smooth! Blade is great for all sorts of cutting tasks! Love the look of the Jade G10 scales!
