Kansept Knives Anomaly Liner Lock Carbon Fiber/G10 Folding Knife [K2038T6]

Dirk Pinkerton's folding kwaiken interpretation

The Anomaly is Dirk Pinkerton's interpretation of a folding kwaiken, intentionally different from some of his more familiar designs. Its restrained profile and understated grip aim for a carrying form that does not dominate the pocket. A pivot-end tab provides opening purchase.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.14" (79.76 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; stonewash finish
• Handle: Carbon fiber and G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• 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.

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.
