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.

Now with an enlarged Vanchor button for even easier, more confident operation—especially when you're moving fast or wearing gloves.

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.
