The black micarta Vosteed Psyop 299 was designed in close collaboration with Geoff Blauvelt of Tuff Knives, every detail was refined together — from the clean, modern lines to the vintage character and micarta handle.

At 2.99", the US-made Crucible S35VN blade delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. On this compact Psyop, we refined the blade-to-handle ratio by minimizing the blade choil, giving it a longer, more uninterrupted cutting edge for better slicing performance.

Some users prefer a larger choil for a more forward grip and added control. That's why this version doesn't replace the big Psyop — it simply offers another option for those who want maximum edge length in a more compact format.

Designed to merge vintage character with modern minimalism, the handle features US-made Norplex UltreX™ Micarta scales.

For comfort and control, every edge is carefully chamfered, while the full liner construction gives the knife a solid, confident feel in hand.

The top liner lock is a lock that feels just right for this size — secure, intuitive, and satisfying every time you open it. The thumb stud keeps deployment quick and familiar.

To improve grip and control during opening and use, we added jimping to the front of the handle and the spine of the blade — a subtle but meaningful upgrade for more secure handling.

• Full T8 hardware throughout, including the thumb stud, for easier maintenance and added durability.
• Titanium-coated handle screws add a refined, premium finish.
• A reversible deep-carry wire clip keeps pocket carry discreet for both left- and right-handed users.
• A recessed button sits flush with the handle for a clean profile and intuitive operation.
• A slightly enlarged lanyard hole makes threading easier and adds everyday practicality.
