Kansept Knives QTRO Crossbar Lock Lightning Folding Knife [K1118VA2]

Luft Concepts' straight-edge utility design

Luft Concepts developed the QTRO from the working qualities of Wharncliffe and hawkbill profiles. The full-size folder combines that cutting focus with a crossbar mechanism and reversible carrying clip. A blade opening window provides deployment purchase.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.63" Damascus steel
• Handle: Gray stonewash finish titanium handle with Lightning strike titanium inlay
• Mechanism: Crossbar Lock
• Pocket size: 5" (12.7cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

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

• 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.
