Kansept Knives Cru Frame Lock Blackwash Twill Carbon Fiber Folding Knife [K1092A5]

Marco Villella Rodio's shaped utility folder

Marco Villella Rodio developed the Cru around a useful working blade and a contoured titanium grip. The lowered point and relatively straight cutting portion give it a utility-focused profile, while contrasting inserts add visual interest to the handle. Kansept's design account emphasizes a steel-reinforced locking interface.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.46" (88 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; stonewash finish
• Handle: Black stonewash finish titanium handle with Twill carbon fiber inlay
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.75" (12.07cm) 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.
• 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.
