I’ve been using this EDC Tool Kit for over 6 months now and really have it dialed in to all of my favorite and most-used tools. So I thought I would do a quick breakdown of everything inside.
Testing the Vosteed Raccoon: EDC Favorite in Action
Testing the Vosteed Raccoon: EDC Favorite in Action
Today we're running the incredibly popular Vosteed Raccoon Top Liner Lock through our Redneck Cut Tests to see if its performance matches its reputation. This 14C28N steel blade delivered pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a quality knife in this category - reliable, consistent cutting performance throughout our cardboard, rope, rubber hose, and stick tests.
What stands out most about the Raccoon isn't necessarily reflected in the raw numbers - this blade feels noticeably more "slicey" in hand than the test scores might indicate. Paired with its excellent ergonomics that make extended cutting comfortable, this knife remains one of our favorite EDCs despite showing average edge retention. Drop a comment if you've put your Raccoon through some hard use and let us know how it's holding up!

OKK Inkosi Mods – Adding Perforated Washers & Ti Clip
I’ve really been enjoying this CRK Sebenza25/Inkosi lately. So I wanted to upgrade the washers to the larger perforated “spoke” washers like you see inside the real Sebenzas. I’m also adding a new deep carry titanium pocket clip.
OK81 Knife Mods – Cutting Away The Compression Lock Access
I recently picked up the OK81-CF, which is their “tribute” knife very similar to the Spyderco PM2. But for some strange reason, OK doesn’t cut away the access to the compression lock button.
