Sitting right between the big and small Psyop, the new Psyop 299 hits the sweet spot at 2.99". Designed in close collaboration with Geoff Blauvelt of Tuff Knives, every detail was refined together — from the clean, modern lines to the vintage character and micarta handle.

More Edge, Same Comfortable Feel

At 2.99", the US-made Crucible S35VN blade delivers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. On this compact Psyop, we refined the blade-to-handle ratio by minimizing the blade choil, giving it a longer, more uninterrupted cutting edge for better slicing performance.

Some users prefer a larger choil for a more forward grip and added control. That's why this version doesn't replace the big Psyop — it simply offers another option for those who want maximum edge length in a more compact format.

Dedicated to the Hand, Refined in Detail

Designed to merge vintage character with modern minimalism, the handle features US-made Norplex UltreX™ Micarta scales.

For comfort and control, every edge is carefully chamfered, while the full liner construction gives the knife a solid, confident feel in hand.

Engineered for the Right Feel

We know how much people enjoy the Top Liner Lock, so our engineering team went deep into fine-tuning the bar's length, width, height, and travel. The result is a lock that feels just right for this size — secure, intuitive, and satisfying every time you open it. The thumb stud keeps deployment quick and familiar.

Grip & Utility

To improve grip and control during opening and use, we added jimping to the front of the handle and the spine of the blade — a subtle but meaningful upgrade for more secure handling.
