Kansept Knives Korvid V Crossbar Lock blk/Red Folding Knife [TE2030V6]

The Korvid cleaver with a crossbar mechanism

The Korvid V brings Justin Koch's broad cleaver-like working blade into a crossbar-lock format. Thumb studs supply opening purchase, with a shaped grip and separate clip for pocket attachment. The model remains a distinct mechanism and size within the wider Korvid range.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.90" D2 tool steel; stonewash finish
• Handle: Black and red G10 G-Mascus
• Mechanism: Crossbar Lock
• Pocket size: 4.38" (11.13cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

The broad cleaver-style outline gives the blade a pronounced utility-cutting profile. Its shape describes the knife's geometry; the folding or fixed construction still determines how it is carried and handled.

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.

After cutting, clean and dry the blade before storage. A light protective oil is particularly useful for this steel when the knife will be exposed to moisture or left unused for a while.

Crossbar Lock explained

A transverse bar engages the blade to hold it open. Pulling the bar back releases the blade for folding; the release sits near the pivot rather than along the cutting-edge channel.
