The Vosteed Porcupine stands out as one of the very exciting knife releases so far in 2025, delivering an impressive combination of solid materials, clever design, and impressive functionality, especially at its price point of under $70. Built to be a reliable workhorse, this 7.2″ manual folder features a 2.99″ Sandvik 14C28N blade, offering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and effortless maintenance. Its wide belly and sharp drop-point tip make it an all-purpose tool, perfect for slicing, piercing, and precision tasks. The top liner lock, which we’re pleased to see in more knives, enhances reliability and safety with a recessed button for ease of use from either hand. A large thumbhole and a buttery-smooth pivot system make opening seamless, whether you’re in gloves or bare-handed.

The Porcupine’s handle, crafted from durable G-10, is lightweight yet robust, with a forward finger choil, handle choil, and extremely generous jimping all over the knife ensuring maximum control and comfort, while a reversible wire pocket clip and a sturdy barrel lanyard tube add carry versatility. Overall, the Porcupine reminds us of the best features we’ve seen from Vosteed’s knives, and arrives as one of their best budget blades yet—not to mention you’re spoiled for choice with the seven striking colorways available. If this is just the first of what’s in store for the rest of the year, then it’s shaping up to be another exciting one for Vosteed.
