Excellence Under $100: Vosteed XL Mink EDC Fixed Blade

[@paulthelefty]

First REAL comment… sheesh… they need to make the original Mink with the sheepsfoot blade. I will buy 2 in that config!

[@jozefgri]

I did not think I needed an extra fixed blade, but this one simply beats everything I have as a camp knife. I mostly do food prep with a knife when camping, for which the extra length of the xl, the modest 3mm blade stock, the broad blade and the flat grind is great. But unlike a normal kitchen knife, it is sturdy enough to cut wood reasonably well too or anything that comes up when camping. Because of the tough Nitro V (and the reasonable price) I will not hesitate to even do some light batoning if needed. I ordered this black/blue one via your link, thanks for the review.

Second, third or however many upvotes for Original Mink with sheepsfoot blade...would make it an instant must buy.

I’m kinda surprised you haven’t made a kydex press and started making sheaths here and there it’s super easy and your pretty handy

@@rustytygart405 I’ve definitely thought about it but I don’t have much extra time but I’ll never say never 👌🍻🍻

Just ordered mine. Looks perfect to keep in the pocket on the back of my passenger seat.

Could be perfect

Original is a small knife that feels big! I do like the XL as well but I'm a bit more fond of the original. 👍🗡️👊

Still amazed I was able to score an Asher lil buddy (2nd) in s90v for $65. What a score vs this knife in nitro v.

[@michaelteasdale8697]

Where how?

[@biosimilar4961]

@@michaelteasdale8697 Asher's website had a seconds sale on them. The site still has them but upped the price. Whatever issue that made him decide it was a 2nd is something I'll never know. I was not able to find the blemish. It was definitely a "steel" of a deal @ $65.

Original mink or mini harpoon? Thoughts?

[@mikereese15]

Looks good

[@shawnsadventures2852]

Nice sheths are everything to me deal breaker

[@RideByNight]

Looks nice. Out of stock unfortunately.

If it was in 1084 steel I'd grab one. I no longer trust any of these Chinese companies to provide a decent heat treat on anything else. I bet they would actually perform better too.

[@jrigo50]

Heat treats are not up to par.. the Chinese knifes are not worth buying
