Vosteed Psyop - Top - Acid Wash & Stonewashed Elmax Blade - Dim Gray Titanium Handle

The new Psyop takes our collaboration with Geoff Blauvelt (A.K.A. TuffKnives) into uncharted territory—where craftsmanship meets the raw beauty of nature. Inspired by the timeless strength of stone and the fluid grace of water, this edition embodies resilience, subtlety, and an everchanging organic flow.

To achieve this unique look, every component of the knife undergoes a multi-stage finishing process that demands extraordinary precision and care. The blade is treated with a dual-process acid wash and stonewash, creating a rugged surface that evokes weathered rock while maintaining a sleek cutting profile. The titanium handle showcases one of our most complex treatments yet: an intricate combination of etching, acid washing, and stonewashing. This layered process gives the handle its distinctive character-low-key yet captivating, understated yet dynamic. Even the backspacer and pocket clip are meticulously finished with the same acid wash + stonewash treatment, ensuring a harmonious and consistent appearance across the entire knife.

Milled from 0.157" (4mm) Elmax steel blank, the blade retains its excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. The 0.138"(3.5mm) thick (finished) Elmax blade offers both a generous belly for smooth slicing and a precise tip for controlled piercing.

The Psyop keeps the iconic button-operated Top-liner lock system, ensuring sturdy lockup and a fidget-friendly experience. The oval-shaped button, ceramic ball-bearing pivot, and dual deployment options (front flipper + thumb hole) deliver smooth, intuitive action. The front flipper's carefully tuned height and angle guarantee an effortless thumb-swipe open, while blending seamlessly into the handle's retro contours once deployed.
