Vosteed Thornton – 3.18″ 14C28N Black Blade, Green Micarta Handle – A1704

The designer, Wayne Walter, of Wayne’s Sharp World, said:

“Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Thornton. This knife pays homage to my grandfather, Wayne Thornton Walter, along with my love for aviation and travel. The design inspiration comes from a Boeing 737. In addition, my grandfather was a mechanical squad leader for aircraft in the Solomon and Philippine Islands during World War II. The Thornton was designed with love, gratitude and a wanderlust spirit in hopes that this knife will make a great companion for your next adventure or EDC task” 

Billed as a “simple and low-key knife,” the Thornton features a versatile and reliable 3.18” 14C28N sheepsfoot blade, known for its excellent balance of corrosion resistance, hardness, and edge performance. It ensures that the knife can handle a variety of tasks with ease, from everyday cutting to more demanding outdoor activities.

The Thornton boasts a beefy and ergonomic micarta handle that offers a secure and comfortable grip for a variety of tasks.

Equipped with ceramic ball bearing system and Trek Lock mechanism, the Thornton can be easily opened with either a thumb stud or front flipper. The button is intentionally set to be recessed, reducing the chance of accidental deployment or closure, and with a simple press, the knife operates seamlessly.
