What’s it like having a quill-pig in your pocket? Honestly, not as uncomfortable as you might think. When Vosteed released the original Porcupine, it took off fast. It had the right mix of ergonomics, blade shape, and materials. But even good designs can have quirks, and the thumb hole was the one that got people talking. It was nicely shaped and fun to middle-flick, but the size made it easy for your finger to slip into the opening instead of catching the edge. I even had my own moments where deployment didn’t quite land.
Vosteed listened. After hearing the same feedback at shows and through the community, they brought out the Porcupine Thumb Stud Version. Same attitude, same build, but with a redesigned opening method that promised to be smoother and more intuitive.

What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
