Kansept Knives Mato Liner Lock Carbon Fiber/Blue Folding Knife [K1050A4]

Marco Villella Rodio's compact working folder

Marco Villella Rodio's Mato combines a compact handle with a pronounced working blade and an opening window. Its grip outline and blade shape give it a sturdy visual character without relying on a very long blade. A pivot-end tab provides another opening interface on the design.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.3" (83.8 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Carbon fiber and black and blue G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• 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.

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

• Low pocket position: The deep-carry clip positions the folded knife low in the pocket, reducing how much of the handle sits above the pocket edge.
