Kansept Knives Vivid Crossbar Lock Carbon Fiber Folding Knife [K1094V3]

Jacob Lundquist's more expressive design language

Jacob Lundquist used the Vivid to explore a departure from his usual visual style while retaining clean lines, ergonomic grip design and user-friendly operation. Kansept's model account also identifies left-handed usability as part of that design intent. The folder combines a blade opening window with contrasting handle surfaces.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.04" (77.2 mm) CPM S35VN stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Stonewash finish titanium handle with Black and white carbon fiber inlay
• Mechanism: Crossbar Lock
• Pocket size: 4.13" (10.49cm) 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.

Crossbar Lock explained

A transverse bar engages the blade to hold it open. Pulling the bar back releases the blade for folding; the release sits near the pivot rather than along the cutting-edge channel.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
• 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.
• 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.
