Kansept Knives Kratos Frame Lock Red/Black Carbon Fiber Folding Knife [K1024A9]

Ostap Hel's folding interpretation of the kopis

Ostap Hel drew the Kratos from the ancient Greek kopis, using a broad curved blade and a full-length grip to carry that reference into a folder. The result has a distinctive cutting silhouette rather than the outline of a conventional straight-spined pocket knife. Inlay materials and blade steels change across editions.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.79" (96.3 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Bead blast finish titanium handle with Red and black carbon fiber inlay
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 5" (12.7cm) 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.
