Kansept Knives Arcus Gold Frame Lock Folding Knife [K1046A4]

Ostap Hel's slender flipper

Ostap Hel's Arcus uses a slender handle and a shaped working blade, with an inlay providing material contrast within the titanium frame. A pivot-end flipper works with the bearing-supported action. Its proportions give it a different pocket outline from Kansept's broad cleaver designs.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.43" (87.2 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Gold anodized titanium handle with black micarta 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.

The Wharncliffe profile puts a straight working edge under a lowered point. It is especially useful for following a cut line and making controlled utility cuts on a surface.

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.
