The Goldilocks Psyop: Vosteed's New 2.99" Folder is Just Right

Vosteed is expanding their beloved Psyop family with a new model that’s been fine-tuned to perfection. Introducing the Vosteed Psyop 299, a collaboration with renowned designer Geoff Blauvelt of Tuff Knives. Sitting perfectly between the large and small Psyop, this new folder is the answer for anyone searching for a knife that hits that sweet spot—combining serious cutting power with a versatile, pocket-friendly size.

A Better Ratio, A Longer Cut
This new Psyop is a direct result of community feedback. While some prefer a larger choil for a forward grip, many asked for a longer cutting edge. The Psyop 299 delivers by minimising the choil and maximising the blade-to-handle ratio. The result is a substantial 2.99" drop point blade made from premium Crucible S35VN steel, giving you top-notch edge retention and corrosion resistance for a better and longer cut.

A Canvas of Customisation
The Psyop 299 is a masterclass in blending vintage character with modern minimalism. The handle features US-made Norplex UltreX™ Micarta scales, a material celebrated for its durability and comfortable grip. The true standout feature, however, is the asymmetrical bolster, available in either titanium or brass. This distinctive design detail adds unique personality, and with the ability to be anodised (titanium) or laser-etched (brass), it becomes your own personal canvas. With stunning colourways like Green Micarta with a titanium bolster or a classic Red with a brass bolster, there’s a configuration to match your style.

Engineered for Perfect Feel
True to Vosteed's reputation for smooth action, the Psyop 299 delivers a perfectly tuned experience. The Top Liner Lock has been meticulously fine-tuned for this size, providing a secure and satisfying lock-up every time. A caged ceramic ball-bearing pivot ensures seamless deployment with a quick thumb stud flick. For even more control, we’ve added jimping to the spine and the front of the handle, providing a secure grip where it matters most.


From the full T8 hardware to the reversible deep-carry clip and enlarged lanyard hole, every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance both function and feel. The Vosteed Psyop 299 isn't here to replace; it's here to expand the vision, offering a meticulously designed knife for those who appreciate a perfect blend of size, performance, and personal style.
