Nightshade® - Shilin Cutter - Liner Lock Knife (3.26" Elmax Blade & Micarta Handle) - A0112
%20-%20A0112){kind=link}
Inspired by the traditional Shilin Cutter and Kukri, Vosteed Nightshade is a modern interpretation of the time-honored ethnic designs.
Exquisite Celtic Floral Motifs
The Nightshade, a contemporary take on the Shilin Cutter, blends timeless ethnic designs with a modern aesthetic.
The addition of Celtic floral motifs to the brass bolster, adds a touch of tradition and symbolism, signifying good fortune and prosperity.
The Nightshade pays tribute to its rich cultural heritage while also reflecting the attention to detail and artistry of its creators.
Well-thought-out Design
The blade features a leaf-shaped blade with a full-flat grind and a wide, plain cutting edge, which provides exceptional cutting and slicing performance.
The low blade tip position and extra blade width offer greater control and precision when using the knife. Additionally, the negative blade angle allows for a more comfortable grip, reducing wrist strain and making it easier to use the knife for extended periods of time.
The contoured and curved eggplant shaped handles can not only give you comfortable feelings but also positive and secure control in slippery conditions.
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.
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
Vosteed handled my order rapidly, and it was shipped/received in great time. However, when I received it, I was pleasantly surprised!
I've been wanting something in Elmax for some time now. I try to buy American as much as I can, and was really looking for a USA made product. This knife looked gorgeous though, fit my requirements, price was right, so I couldn't pass it up. It arrived, and the packaging was very well done. In fact, I'll keep the hard case it arrived in.
The knife itself is amazing! Everything is fit and finished well, zero blade slop on a centered blade. The micarta handle feels fantastic and the knife just site extremely comfortable in hand. Opening it is smooth and clean, with a seemingly perfect weight and balance to the blade. It swings open and engages the liner lock securely, with confidence and purpose! I'm happy I got the filagree, as this is definitely a knife to be passed down! Above all that? The blade was actually more than shaving sharp out of the box! I was stoked! I took a 2"x3" patch of hair from my arm like butter - I was just wiping it off in a single pass!
While it is beautiful, I carry my knives to be used. I use this on my property and it holds it's edge very well. LOVING the Elmax. I even cut apart dozens of cardboard boxes the other day, and their edge work was good enough that I was still able to shave my arm hair after. All in all, this is my first experience with the company, and their work, but it won't be my last. Getting such a rock solid, well made knife, in Elmax, at this price...I'll DEFINITELY be back! Great job Vosteed!
Had to get the etched brass model. Top notch quality.Highly recommended any of the Nightshade models.
Beautiful unique knife. Excellent quality and design. Fit and finish are as fine as can be.
This is hands down one of my favorite EDC blades! Amazing ergonomics and the blade just slices like a laser beam! Fit and finish are always spot on with Vosteed! Don't think anymore... just buy it!
The overall quality and esthetics are good. The gimping on the flipper tab is harsh and there is some lock stick.
