Traditional Blade, Modern Interpretation!

When Shilin Cutter meets the Vanchor Lock, you will love it!

An engineering maverick of the Vosteed family, the Shilin Cutter® is fun, reliable, and different all in one package.

 

A Variety of Options:

154CM: G10 or Norplex UltreX™ G10 handle scales

Elmax: Aluminum handle scales

The Norplex UltreX™ G10 is known for its higher color saturation; while the normal G10 offers a more subtle color contrast.

 

Ultra-Functional Blade Shape

Shilin Cutter is a time-honored Taiwanese knife style, the earliest record dates back to almost 200 years ago. Rooted in agricultural and farming practices, the wide blade on the Shilin Cutter® allows for efficient cutting and slicing through different materials such as wood, stems, leaves, carton boxes, paper, tubes, and cables.

 

Ergonomic Excellence

Different from our Nightshade, the Shilin Cutter employs a wider and more contoured handle that will offer extra grip and control, as well as a natural fit for big hands.

The blade cutting edge drops downward creating a negative blade angle, which allows the blade cutting edge to lower than the user's index finger so the wrist is in alignment. It is comfortable when you use the knife for a long period of time, it requires less pressure to be applied by your wrist. 

 

Patented Vanchor Lock®

Our 2-in-1 locking system combines a pivot and button, allowing for a safe and intuitive way to operate the knife.

The Vanchor lock integrates a magnetic connector and a robust lock plate, working together to ensure both stability and reinforcement. Additionally, the lock's design guarantees that the pivot/button remains recessed, regardless of the lock's engagement, for seamless operation and a sleek appearance.

 

Triple the Fun Multiple Deployment Options

In addition to allowing users to open the knife with gloves on, the triple deployment systems offer tons of fidgeting fun for you. There will be no dull moment when you have the Shilin Cutter in your hand.

Surprisingly good EDC knife

I love the Vanchor lock. It is very simple to use and very comfortable and fidgety for all. The G10 handle is contoured in a good way, so the knife feels very good in hand. The blade looks pretty good. I like the shape of the blade also. The blade steel could be better for the money.

I have many variations of this knife, love the blade on all. This is a very nice combination of lock and scale improvement.

Great Knife, Almost Perfect

Fantastic design, love the Vanchor lock and shilin cutter blade. Ergonomics are great, deployment options all work well. The white G10 and copper dune blade are beautiful, though the handle will be a challenge to keep clean.

The action is little muted due to what appears to be the blade coating around the pivot. Opens lightning fast but doesn't quite drop shut quickly. Also a missed opportunity that the pocket clip is not reversible! Especially since it looks like the liner is drilled for it, just not the handle scale. Hope that this gets resolved in future iterations!

Not bad just pick a better color than me

The knife feels good in hand and the blade came in sharp. Locking mechanism works rather well too. Don't get white g-10 like me, it marks and stains faster than a white shirt in a mud wrestling contest.
Also the flipper tab it a wee bit small but still usable

Almost great, better design than Ankylo

I love this knife, now. When I first got it the knife was blocky feeling in hand, the clip was irritating, and there was too much friction when opening or closing. I contoured the scales to remove the blocky edges feeling, I replaced the clip with a better shaped titanium one, and I polished the PVD coating off of the contact surfaces in the pivot (PVD was stopping it from freely swinging shut when under tension from the lock bar). After those changes it hasn’t left my pocket and I love it.
