Kansept Knives Chimera Frame Lock Blackwash Folding Knife [K1096A3]

Matsey's contoured folding design

The Chimera is a Matsey collaboration combining a shaped grip with a compact working blade. Thumb studs give the user direct opening purchase, while the titanium handle supplies the selected edition's structural and visual surface. The design's mythical name does not establish an undevelopment history.

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

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.
