Look
The Vosteed Vallhund knife is a attractive knife. I really like this Copper Dune model, however I don’t love simply this model. The blue (deal with) and black (blade) model can be unbelievable.
The non-clip facet of this Vosteed Vallhund knife is notably fetching. Easy scales and pretty featureless, stark design actually stand out.
There’s little or no branding on the Vosteed Vallhund knife. I really like that about it!
Open / Shut / Lock
Opening the Vosteed Vallhund knife occurs two methods. First (for me) is the thumbtsud choice. There are thumbstuds on each side of the blade.
Whereas the thumbstuds are pretty tight to the scales, they’re nonetheless fairly accessible.
The second technique of opening the Vosteed Vallhund knife can be seen above (although it’s not in use within the picture.) It’s posisble to flip the knife open. I like that choice for this knife too, because it retains your digits outdoors of the blade pathway.
Vosteed opted for a really clear trying body lock for the Vallhund. There’s a stainless bit on the damage level.
Construct and Really feel
I’ve already mentioned or hinted at it above, however the really feel of this knife is unbelievable. The scales are titanium however have a tender texture.
Regardless of missing any knurl or groove, the end provides some grip to the knife. I may not use this knife for bushwhacking, but it surely’s so nice for extra refined pursuits.
The blade is completely centered.
Bearings listed here are caged ceramic ball bearings. The knife has a fantastically easy motion. It actually says one thing concerning the knife that I’m ready to make use of the thumb flick motion for opening it. Which means it’s easy!
There’s no “matching” titanium backspacer. There are two standoffs, that are held in place by a screw every that undergo the knife.
Apparently, each side aren’t “screws” – one facet appears extra like a rivvet (it’s not!). I’m inclined to say the standoff screws ought to go the opposite method. That’d imply the clear facet (non-clip) is even cleaner. And I don’t assume the screw heads would get in the way in which of the pocket clip. I can see the maker’s logic on the matter too, although.
Just one facet of the pivot might be adjusted, and that may be executed with a TORX bit.
Whereas the scales appear to be one piece (per facet), they do have cavities for weight aid.

Additionally within the picture above, my Commonplace Reference Materials (SRM) flashlight is the Hanko Machine Works Trident, an 18350 mild. Whereas I’ve not reviewed or examined the Gunner Grip model seen right here, I’ve examined a Hanko Machine Works Trident Whole Tesseract in brass. I really like the Trident, and it’s a placing distinction to the cheap Convoy S2+, one other nice SRM.
Metal / Lower / Oats
The Vosteed Vallhund knife makes use of S35VN metal on this clip level blade.
I don’t have sufficient clip level blades to say a lot about my favor for them, however primarily based on how a lot I like this knife as an entire, I have to be an enormous fan of clip factors. I do like how all of the angles have sufficient floor space to catch reflections.
Retention
A pocket clip is included on the Vallhund. It’s connected on the manufacturing facility, and has no seen screws.
Sidenote: above, you’ll be able to see the “tip” facet of the backspacer screws.
The clip has good rigidity and touches the size excellent.
Once more, the clip shouldn’t be reversible to the opposite facet or the opposite finish. The place it’s as seen in these pictures is the one place it might probably go. I suppose you can take away it fully, however you’d have to disassemble the knife to take action. The clip is held in place with two screws, that are seen when you look excellent inside (not beneath, these are the backspacer screws!)
You might additionally, in fact, carry the Vosteed Vallhund knife contained in the very fetching orange case that’s included with the Vallhunt.
