How thin is the handle profile on the Raccoon TiSlim?

The handle on this model measures an ultra-thin 0.315 inches thick. This slender footprint ensures the flat titanium scales sit securely flush against your pocket line, entirely minimizing printing and bulk during daily carry.

What are the real-world benefits of CPM-S35VN steel?

CPM-S35VN is a premium American powder metallurgy stainless steel alloyed with niobium. It maintains a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than traditional stainless steels while remaining far easier to sharpen or hone at home than hyper-hard steels like M390.

Is the pocket clip on the TiSlim variant reversible?

Yes. The premium 3D-milled titanium pocket clip features dedicated mounting slots on both the left and right scales. Combined with the crossbar lock, this makes the entire knife completely ambidextrous for tip-up carry.

Does the crossbar lock system roll on bearings or washers?

The Raccoon TiSlim pivot assembly operates on high-grade ceramic ball bearings. This configuration enables smooth deployment via the thumb studs and a frictionless, drop-shut mechanical action when the crossbar lock is pulled back.

Product Description

The Vosteed Raccoon TiSlim VOSA4509 — Crossbar Lock — is a highly refined everyday carry folder engineered to provide premium utilitarian capability in an incredibly streamlined form factor. At 7.55" overall and weighing just 2.69 oz, this pocket knife is optimized specifically for low-profile pocket carry without compromising structural integrity or deployment reliability.

The blade is high-performance CPM-S35VN at 59–61 HRC — a niobium-refined powder metallurgy steel that delivers exceptional wear resistance, micro-chipping protection, and long-term edge retention. The drop point profile features a full flat grind that transitions into a slicey 0.087" blade thickness, optimizing cutting geometry across light-to-medium utility duties. A durable black stonewash finish helps mask scratches and hard wear from regular use.

The handle scales are precision machined from premium titanium, treated with a black acid-washed finish to complement the stealth profile. Measuring an ultra-slim 0.315" in total thickness, the handle disappears into the pocket line while providing a rigid, completely flex-free chassis framework. The ambidextrous crossbar lock mechanism delivers positive, crisp lockup and fluid, glassy manual mechanics on a ceramic ball bearing pivot system. It is finished with a matching premium 3D-milled titanium pocket clip.

Deployment is completely ambidextrous via the dual thumb studs. The 3D-milled titanium pocket clip mounts securely for tip-up, left or right-hand carry configurations. Designed by Yue Dong. Origin: China premium contract run. Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.

Product Reviews

✳

Full Titanium — 0.315" Slim Profile

✖

CPM-S35VN at 59–61 HRC

Niobium-refined powder metallurgy stainless — strong edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a 0.087 in full flat grind drop point built for everyday carry.

△

Black Acid Wash — Not a Coating

Chemical surface treatment on both blade and handle produces a matte dark finish that resists fingerprinting and wear marking without the coating failure risk of DLC or cerakote.

Vosteed Raccoon TiSlim VOSA4509: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Vosteed Raccoon TiSlim in CPM-S35VN with black acid washed titanium handle, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What makes the Raccoon TiSlim different from the standard Raccoon? +

The TiSlim variant is built specifically around carry profile — a 0.315 in handle thickness and 2.69 oz weight that makes it one of the slimmest titanium-handled production folders available. The standard Raccoon uses different handle materials and a thicker profile; the TiSlim trades that for a full titanium build optimized for flat carry.

What steel is in the Vosteed Raccoon TiSlim VOSA4509? +

The Raccoon TiSlim uses CPM-S35VN hardened to 59–61 HRC — a niobium-refined powder metallurgy stainless that delivers strong edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a full flat grind drop point profile suited to everyday carry.

What is the black acid wash finish on the Raccoon TiSlim? +

The black acid wash is a chemical surface treatment applied to both the blade and titanium handle — not a coating. It produces a matte dark surface that resists fingerprinting and wear marking in daily carry without the coating failure risk of DLC or cerakote on a pocket knife.

What is the crossbar lock on the Vosteed Raccoon TiSlim? +

The crossbar lock is Vosteed's sliding bar lock mechanism — a bar that crosses the blade tang in the open position to lock the blade securely. It provides positive lock-up with a clean, deliberate disengage and keeps the locking surface away from the cutting edge side of the handle.
