Vosteed and Ray Laconico Collab to Release the Sleek and Mighty Vallhund Knife

Vosteed’s first collaboration with iconic knifemaker Ray Laconico brings us the Vosteed Vallhund, named after the Swedish word for shepherd dog: spirited, athletic, and reliable; a fitting name for this minimalist yet no-nonsense EDC knife. Laconico’s craftsmanship and signature design languageshines through in this piece, delivering a 3″ stonewashed clip-point blade crafted from premium S35VN, combining durability with a sharp, aggressive profile perfect for everyday cutting tasks. I particularly love the Vallhund’s action with its incredibly fidget-friendly design (as to be expected from Vosteed’s knives), boasting ultra-smooth ceramic ball bearings and dual deployment options via the front flipper or thumb stud that makes it addictive to handle—it just begs to be used or played around with. The contoured titanium handle, anodized in blue (also available in gray), not only looks fantastic but also feels great in hand, making it comfortable during use. The sturdy frame lock ensures reliable lockup, and the 3D-milled titanium pocket clip allows for secure tip-up carry. Despite its minimalist design, the Vosteed Vallhund packs a punch in performance, masterfully blending top-tier functionality and versatility, making it a must-have for knife enthusiasts and collectors alike.
