Coming Soon - Thunderbird V- Vanchor Lock® (3.46" M390 Blade & Crystallized Titanium Handle) - A0323

Thunderbird V — TideweaverIn Rhythm with the Current Four years in, we chose Thunderbird to mark how far we have come. For this edition, we explored Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth within the realm of Light and Shadow. Each element carries its own nature, shaped by the balance between clarity and depth, motion and restraint. Tideweaver is the water expression of the seven. Its blue crystallized titanium handle has a cool, irregular surface, paired with a clean dual-finished blade. Vosteed 4th Anniversary Special Edition Limited to 100 Pieces What's Inside1.

Thunderbird ID card personally signed by designer Yue The Blade The 3.46" M390 blade balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A compound grind combines tip stability with efficient slicing. The blade combines dual satin with bead-blasted surfaces. The finish complements the cooler tones of the titanium handle and gives the blade geometry clear definition. Blue Crystallized Titanium Each handle begins as solid titanium. The material is heated to around 992°C, then rapidly cooled to develop its crystalline grain pattern. It is then CNC machined, polished, and anodized to bring out the blue and silver tones. The pattern is formed within the titanium rather than applied to the surface, so no two handles will look exactly the same. Vanchor Lock® and Multiple Deployment The Vanchor Lock® provides secure lockup and smooth operation. Open Thunderbird V with the front flipper, back flipper, thumb hole, or by holding the lock button and flicking the blade open. The titanium pocket clip and slightly extended titanium backspacer complete the build. The backspacer forms an integrated lanyard point and carries the Morse code for “V,” a subtle nod to the Vanchor Lock®.
