Vosteed Corgi Pup Trek Lock PEI Folding knife Reviews

4 Rating 1 Reviews

The Vosteed Corgi Pup is a fun-sized, or mini-sized version of the big Corgi original!
Boasting a 6cm (2.37''), 14C28N stainless steel, modified drop point blade with a flat grind, the Corgi pup is compact enough to fit in any pocket. It packs a punch like its bigger sibling, but in a more portable package.
The Corgi Pup's mirror-symmetrical handle maintains the same width as the original, while its sleek, rounded design offers excellent ergonomics, no hot spots. Its compact size and comfortable grip make it perfect for any environment.
What sets the Corgi pup apart is the Trek Lock mechanism. Placed right in the middle for a sleek, symmetrical look. You can choose to deploy it with either the front or back of the blade.
The Titanium plate inserts not only provide extra structural stability but also add unique aesthetics. The recessed textured button increases control over the action of the knife. The colour-matched backspacer has a lanyard attachment and adds paring aesthetics.

“Sadly this version of the Corgi Pup is out of stock. I think I purchased the last one, apologies.However, I hope that this 'review' will assist those purchasing the Micarta or G10 version.Firstly, as had been the case over well over a decade since I began my relationship with HH, the service provided was peerless. Secondly, the knife itself. I was a little surprised by the weight of the knife and it's thickness. I enjoy smaller blades and I was expecting a slimmer form factor. It's not chunky as per say but you will know it is in your hand.Of course, although the blade length is UK legal, the lock is not. This means you can't carry it as and EDC....which is a pity.Out of the box/tin/case the blade is very sharp and the build quality, centering and lack of play are spot on. The design is angular and symmetrical rather than curvy. It's a very well presented package and it is clear thought and care has gone into the knife.Where the knife shines is the button lock. Now at first I thought blade was hitting the back spacer on closing, but a quick check of a disassembly video shows this is impossible. The blade when flipped flies....really flies out and a flick with the button depressed allows lightening opening. Spring assisted blades like those from Kershaw are now illegal buy this is silly fast. Some people like a dry bearing but pop a drop of 'break free' into the pivot area and it's turbo charged. What I am really saying is this little knife is an addictive fidget knife that is hard to put down, offering several fast methods of opening and closing. The lock is similar to an Axis lock by Benchmade but arguably more responsive.The Micarta and G10 versions (which I have never tried ) possibly offer better value for money. This version isn't cheap and edges it towards a UK legal slipjoint of very high quality, which may be of more practical use.However, if you already own a fair few knives in your collection and already have many UK legal options this might be something you could add. A great knife to play with, well made and looks great. I would not say it was a Gentleman's Knife as I understand it but more of a contemporary not quite brutalist, utilitarian design. It is 'different' and fills a niche for the collector who likes to actively mess with their knives.Thank you.”
