Ultra-Functional Blade Shape

Shilin Cutter® is a time-honored Taiwanese knife style, the earliest record dates back to almost 200 years ago. Rooted in agricultural and farming practices, the wide blade on the Shilin Cutter® allows for efficient cutting and slicing through different materials such as wood, stems, leaves, carton boxes, paper, tubes, and cables.

 

Ergonomic Excellence

Different from our Nightshade®, the Shilin Cutter® employs a wider and more contoured handle that will offer extra grip and control, as well as a natural fit for big hands.

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. 

 

Patented Vanchor Lock®

Our 2-in-1 locking system combines a pivot and button, allowing for a safe and intuitive way to operate the knife.

The Vanchor lock® integrates a magnetic connector and a robust lock plate, working together to ensure both stability and reinforcement. Additionally, the lock's design guarantees that the pivot/button remains recessed, regardless of the lock's engagement, for seamless operation and a sleek appearance.

 

Triple the Fun Multiple Deployment Options

In addition to allowing users to open the knife with gloves on, the triple deployment systems offer tons of fidgeting fun for you. There will be no dull moment when you have the Shilin Cutter® in your hand.

Stellar

This knife is absolutely one of my favorites. I actually have two of them. The first time the blue was sold so I settled for the silver. It was good enough that I HAD to buy the blue wnen it was back in stock. I took apart the silver to investigate the lock and it's truly simple yet strong enough for any situation I can imagine you'd use this knife in. Oh and this knife accepts Kizer Ti pocket slips PERFECTLY, they might be the manufacturer. I have Kizer clips on both my blue and silver Cutters

Two downsides I noticed. It bearings are gisnt because they run outside the lock nthis is both wn advantage because it stabilizes the blade more. The disadvantage is Skiff is not interested in making bearings for it at this time. Request them and maybe he will if enough people request them.

The other disadvantage is the factory edge seemed to dull quicker than expected. This is NOT what I've experienced after resharpening the knife, in fact it might be some of the best Elmax I've used. I suspect the manufacturer Vosteed chose simply didn't have the right equipment to sharpen Elmax this hard nice always heard it's very difficult to sharpen once over 60HRC.

Quality knife

This is my first purchase Vosteed. The knife is well-made with good finishing and a sharp edge. The materials and price are reasonable. I would buy this again. I will be purchasing other offerings in the future.

Slicey beast!

This blade shape paired with Elmax steel makes for such amazing slicing performance. In hand it's light, deft, and has well-thought-out ergos... and it's fun and fidgety with all of the deployment methods. Just a great all around EDC and value for the money.
