Product Description
The Vosteed Parallel A3503 is an ultra-thin titanium EDC folder inspired by Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos — a 2.29 oz, 0.279"-thin knife that carries like a credit card and cuts like a purpose-built tool.
The blade is ground from 154CM — a steel with a lineage that runs from gas turbine engine bearings to legendary knifemaker Bob Loveless, who popularized it in the custom knife world for its balance of hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The flat grind at 0.079" thin on a reverse tanto profile delivers exceptional slicing efficiency; the reverse tanto's upward-rising primary edge meets the spine at a precise tip that no drop point or clip point replicates. HRC 60 ±2.
The handle is CNC-machined Grade 5 titanium — 6AL4V, the aerospace alloy — at 0.279" thin. Green aluminum accents at the backspacer and thumbstud add a subtle color contrast against the gray titanium. Caged ceramic ball bearing pivot for smooth deployment. Reversible stainless steel wire clip, tip-up. Crossbar Lock with dual thumbstuds for ambidextrous carry. Jimping at the handle end and a triangle lanyard hole complete the package.
