Kansept Knives Convict Frame Lock Green Folding Knife [K1023B3]

Sheepdog Knives' broad working design

Chris Conaway of Sheepdog Knives gave the Convict a stout blade and a clean handle intended to accommodate different grips. Its broad working profile is part of the model's identity, with thumb-stud access and a bearing-supported pivot in editions. A separate clip provides pocket attachment.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.3" (84 mm) S35VN stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Green anodized titanium
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.25" (10.8cm) 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.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
