Vosteed Racoon Cub
on: June 28, 2024, 01:53:13 AM
The Vosteed Raccoon Cub is the latest addition to the beloved Raccoon family, delivering portability and functionality without sacrificing style and comfort. As a compact version of the popular Vosteed Raccoon, the Raccoon Cub incorporates several enhancements, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry enthusiasts.

Specifications:
- Blade Length: 2.34" (59.50 mm)
- Overall Length: 5.57" (141.60 mm)
- Blade Material: 14C28N stainless steel
- Blade Style: Drop Point with a Black Stonewash finish
- Blade Grind: Flat
- Blade Hardness: HRC 60±2
- Handle Material: G10
- Weight: 2.04 oz (58.00 g)
- Lock Type: Liner Lock
- Opener: Thumb Stud and Front Flipper
- Pivot Assembly: Caged Ceramic Ball Bearing
- Pocket Clip: Reversible, Stainless Steel, Tip-up carry

The handle, made of lightly textured G10, feels secure and comfortable in hand. The texture strikes a perfect balance, ensuring the knife won't slip, while not being overly aggressive. Its compact size and lightweight design (just 2.04 oz) mean it'll disappear into any pocket, including the fifth coin pocket of jeans. In terms of ergonomics, I can comfortably grip the handle with three fingers in a normal grip, and all four fingers when choking up and using the finger choil. There's also extra jimping on the blade that provides additional control when using the choil.

This is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring fine detail work. The drop point blade is perfect for various tasks, from slicing to piercing. Its non-aggressive appearance and 2.34-inch blade length make it a suitable choice in cities with stricter blade length regulations. The front flipper deploys the blade with authority, providing a satisfying snap when locking into place. Additionally, the well-placed thumb studs allow for snappy opening, including the popular spydie-flick.

The Vosteed Raccoon Cub is compact yet robust knife that combines practicality and functionality. Its well-thought-out design and enhanced features make it a standout choice for anyone looking for a reliable compact knife. Whether you need a knife for precision tasks or general everyday use, the Raccoon Cub delivers exceptional performance in a sleek and stylish package.


Pros:
- Front flipper deploys with authority
- Thumb studs work well, allowing for spydie-flick
- Lightly textured G10 handle with smoothed edges
- Excellent control and grip with the increased finger choil and dual-section jimpings
- Versatile 14C28N drop point blade
- Comfortable G10 handle
- Smooth blade deployment with caged ceramic ball bearing pivot

Cons:
- Limited blade length might not be suitable for all tasks

It's a very nice knife, too small for me but that choil makes all the difference
