Vosteed has been on an absolute tear with their recent releases. It seems every new knife brings something new to the table, and the Vosteed Akita is no different. It features a 2.94″ Bowie blade made from S35VN steel, one of our favorites for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. But what sets this knife apart is its use of Vosteed’s recent Vanchor Lock mechanism, a hybrid system that combines a pivot and button for smooth, effortless operation.

This lock uses a magnetic connector and reinforced plate to keep the blade secure while maintaining a clean, low-profile design. Paired with ceramic ball bearings, the Akita opens and closes smoothly, whether you prefer the front flipper or thumb hole. The aluminum handle, available in Sunshine or Golf Ball milling, provides a comfortable grip with a bit of vintage character. If you appreciate Bowie blade designs like we do, then you’ll find a lot to like here.
