Kansept Knives Shard Frame Lock Timascus Folding Knife [K1006C4]

A shaped frame-lock grip with an opening window

Kim Ning's Shard combines a contoured handle with a flipper tab and elongated blade opening. Those interfaces give the user different places to gain deployment purchase. The sculpted metal surfaces and separate clip bring a strong geometric appearance to the frame-lock format.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.48" (88.3 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Black stonewash finish titanium handle with Timascus inlay
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.5" (11.43cm) 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.

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.
