Kansept Knives Ptarmigan Frame Lock Purp Folding Knife [K2055A3]

Jared Price's adaptable outdoor-and-urban design

Jared Price drew the Ptarmigan from the compact resilience of its namesake Arctic bird. Kansept describes a design intended to move between daily work, hiking and camping rather than one narrowly defined task. The folder combines a shaped drop-point blade with a titanium-and-inlay handle.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.13" CPM S35VN stainless; BlackWash finish
• Handle: BlackWash titanium handle with Purple crystalized titanium inlay
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.13" (10.49cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

S35VN is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed to balance wear resistance with toughness. It gives this blade a useful combination of edge life and resistance to corrosion for everyday cutting.

The drop-point profile combines a curved cutting belly with a lowered tip, giving it a versatile outline for slicing and controlled point work.

Titanium gives the handle a corrosion-resistant metal structure. The color and surface treatment describe its finish; they do not change the underlying handle metal.

Framelock explained

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.
