Kansept Knives Link Frame Lock Timascus Folding Knife [K1068A3]

Johnathan Shaw's harpoon-bladed folder

Johnathan Shaw gave the Link an angular visual character while retaining a compact everyday folding format. Its harpoon-style spine and shaped grip provide the recognizable outline, with opening purchase at the blade and pivot. A contrasting frame side or scale surface changes the appearance between editions.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3" (76.2 mm) CPM-20CV stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Timascus handle with black stonewash titanium back
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.13" (10.49cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

CPM 20CV is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel developed for wear and corrosion resistance. It is a useful choice when edge life through repeated cutting is a priority.

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.
