What makes this a "vintage" edc knife? It looks pretty futuristic to me. When I think of a vintage folding knife I think of an Opinel or an old Buck knife with bone/antler handles.

MichaelHeartlessVery confusing, especially since it's... sort of futuristic. Unless we think about vintage 1980s Transformers aesthetics. My best guess is that Tactical_Geek, in issuing this knife, is essentially playing on the idea of declaring a vintage (as with port wine, when the producer in so doing announces that it's a really good year), or with regular wine, where a vintage must include at least a certain percentage of content produced in that year to carry the year on the bottle. Which would make sense if this knife were dated 2018, but it isn't. Their website, like this description, states these knives are limited-edition, and adds that there are varying quantities for each color, though apparently no serialization.
TL; DR. Less words, more stabbing cardboard boxes?

sudevaHi, actually you are wrong!, they are serialized. But I agree that at least in my book this is not vintage, unless you came from the far future :-)
See the picture with the serial, I hope this help.

MichaelHeartlessI was going to ask the same question. Vintage appears to be a very odd choice of phrase for a knife like this. I think they're referring to the color choices... but even those don't look at all old-school...
