Vosteed Parallel- Crossbar lock (2.90" 154CM Blade & Titanium Handle) - A3501

The Ultra Thin Design - The Engineer's Task: The ultra-thin blade design, measuring an impressive 0.28 inches/7.1mm handle thickness, is an engineering feat we set out to achieve. Weighing just 2.3oz/65g and boasting a blade length of 2.9 inches/74mm, the Parallel is the most pocket-friendly and carry-friendly knife in its class.

Materials from the Supernova - The Titanium Handle: As shown by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, titanium forms from the blast of supernovas. To make the Vosteed Parallel true to its inspiration, we used precision CNC to craft its handle from Grade 5 titanium. The material and exceptional machining work have created a perfect balance of strength, thickness, and tolerance.

We've upgraded our product with added jimping at the end of the handle, providing better traction and a more secure grip during use.

From Turbine Engines to Your Hand - The 154CM Blade: 154CM is a widely recognized and beloved knife steel. Originally developed as a bearing steel for gas turbine engines, 154CM steel offers a great combination of hardness, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and durability. Legendary knife maker Bob Loveless used and popularized 154cm steel in the knife world. The Vosteed Parallel features a 0.078” thick (2mm) 154CM blade, ensuring an exceptional slicing and cutting experience.
