Kansept Knives Model 6 Frame Lock Black Folding Knife [K1022A3]

Nick Swan's working pocket knife

Nick Swan designed the Model 6 as an everyday working knife, with a blade and grip arranged around recurring cutting tasks. Its opening window and pivot-end tab give alternative deployment purchase, while the folding structure covers the edge between uses. The design account is deliberately practical rather than ornamental.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.25" Bohler M390 stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Black anodized titanium
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.38" (11.13cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

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.
