Vosteed Acorn – 2.93″ Black Stonewash 14C28N Blade, Green Micarta Handle, Liner Lock – A3303

The Acorn’s compact and lightweight design makes it an ideal everyday carry knife. Crafted with Sandvik 14C28N blade steel, the Acorn offers excellent edge retention and toughness. It features an ergonomic handle, carefully designed with well-chamfered edges to ensure a comfortable and natural grip. This thoughtful design reduces fatigue, allowing for extended use without discomfort. The micarta handle provides an optimal balance between durability and a comfortable grip. The carefully contoured shape, combined with the choice of micarta material for the handle, creates a secure grip that minimises the risk of slippage, even in wet conditions.

Strategically placed jimpings on the blade spine, liner, and rear end of the handle, enhance control during detailed cutting tasks, minimising the risk of accidental slips. Vosteed’s designers carefully considered the various hand positions users might employ while using the Acorn knife, leading to the thoughtful placement of these textured grooves. The jimpings on the blade spine provide enhanced control and a secure resting spot for the thumb when performing precise tasks, such as whittling or detailed carving. The jimpings on the liner offer an additional grip point when disengaging the knife, further improving control and reducing the risk of slippage. Finally, the jimpings at the rear end of the handle ensure a secure grip when applying force or manipulating the knife in different angles.

Vosteed designers took inspiration from the ball-bearing system and incorporated it into the visible pivot screw, creating a unique and visually appealing feature that sets the Acorn apart from other everyday carry knives. The pivot screw design not only adds an element of intrigue but also highlights the attention to detail that went into the Acorn’s creation.

Equipped with a ball-bearing system and a liner lock, the Acorn boasts exceptional snappy action, making it smooth and swift to open with either the thumb hole or front flipper. The liner lock mechanism not only secures the blade in the open position but also allows for easy one-handed closing.

These features work together to create a knife that is both easy to use and highly functional.
