Vosteed® Parallel Premium Ultra-Thin Crossbar Lock Folder – S35VN – Purple Titanium – A3518
The Vosteed® Parallel Folding Knife (A3518) is a 2026-spec premium, ultra-slim everyday carry (EDC) cutting tool engineered for executive carry, pocket minimalism, and high-performance urban utility. Inspired by the deep laws of the cosmos and quantum mechanics, the Parallel series pushes industrial knife design to its absolute geometric limits. While standard tactical pocket folders rely on thick handles that create an annoying bulge in dress pants or lightweight shorts, the Parallel features a jaw-droppingly sleek, monolithic profile measuring just 0.28 inches (7.10mm) thin—thinner than a standard pack of chewing gum.
The engineering core of the A3518 configuration is its high-leverage 2.90-inch reverse tanto blade forged from premium CPM-S35VN stainless steel. Vacuum-hardened to a target rating of 60 HRC, this powder-metallurgy super-steel delivers an exceptional equilibrium of razor-sharp edge retention, extreme wear resistance, and effortless field maintenance. Ground with a clean flat grind and shielded in a rugged, non-reflective Black Stonewash finish, the angular reverse tanto profile provides a reinforced, aggressive tip that excels at piercing heavy cardboard packing tape, slicing zip ties, and executing surgical precision cuts. The full-metal chassis is CNC-machined from lightweight Grade 5 Titanium hardcoat-anodized in a vibrant Purple finish. By utilizing specialized electroplating voltage tracking, Vosteed achieved a dynamic hue that shifts beautifully under changing light angles. Riding on caged ceramic ball bearings for lightning-fast manual thumb-stud deployment and secured by a completely ambidextrous, rock-solid Crossbar Lock mechanism, this 2.36-ounce featherweight masterfully bridges cosmic aesthetic art with hard-use mechanical elegance.
Includes: (1) Vosteed Parallel Folding Knife (Black Stonewash S35VN / Purple Titanium Handle), Reversible Deep-Carry Stainless Steel Wire Clip, Vosteed Branded Storage Pouch, Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, and Support Documents.
