Kansept Knives Quasar Crossbar Lock Timas Folding Knife [K1099V4]

Paul Munko's sweeping utility geometry

Paul Munko designed the Quasar around curved lines and a comfortable utility grip. Kansept links the name to the energetic visual movement of a quasar, with the blade window and crossbar mechanism carrying that sense of motion into the folder's controls. Contrasting inlays add a second material surface.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.38" (85.89 mm) CPM-20CV stainless; stonewash finish
• Handle: Stonewash finish titanium handle with Timascus inlay
• Mechanism: Crossbar Lock
• Pocket size: 4.63" (11.76cm) 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.

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.

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.
