Vosteed’s 2024 lineup has been a steady stream of successful slicers, and their latest release is already turning heads as it seeks to be the slimmest knife on the market. The Parallel is the latest design by Vosteed founder Yue Dong, a new crossbar lock design pushing the limits of their manufacturing prowess with some of the thinnest dimensions we’ve seen on a knife. For starters, the Parallel comes with a 2.9″ reverse tanto blade in robust 154CM steel, shaved down to a crazy thin 0.078” (2mm). This rides on caged ceramic ball bearings into an equally thin 0.279″ (7.10mm) titanium handle, which houses the minimal lock, backspacer, and reversible wire clip. As expected, the Parallel tips the scales at a mere 2.29 oz, making it an effortless EDC. The Vosteed Parallel is available now in three colorways for $129 at Vosteed’s site linked above.
