Kansept Knives Qilin Liner Lock Red Damascus Folding Knife [K1047A1]

A mythological name on a curved folding design

Ostap Hel named the Qilin after the legendary creature of Chinese mythology. The folding design combines a curved working blade with a shaped scale-and-liner handle, bringing the mythological reference into a modern carrying format. Factory editions can differ in blade profile and material.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.43" (87 mm) Damascus steel
• Handle: Red G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.5" (11.43cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

The drop-point profile combines a curved cutting belly with a lowered tip, giving it a versatile outline for slicing and controlled point work.

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.

Construction details

• Clip placement: The reversible pocket clip lets you change the carrying side. That affects pocket placement; it does not by itself change the lock-release design.
