Kansept Knives Nettle Liner Lock Carbon Fiber/G10 Folding Knife [T1103A1]

Derek Sharon's owl-inspired folding outline

Derek Sharon developed the Nettle with the shape and movement of an owl in mind, aiming to combine a visually assertive form with a comfortable everyday grip. The angular working blade and contrasting scale materials carry that theme into the folder. A pivot-end tab provides opening access.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.25" Damascus steel
• Handle: Twill carbon fiber and black G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.25" (10.8cm) closed

Materials and cutting character

The reverse-tanto profile angles the spine down toward the point while retaining a useful cutting edge beneath it. The result is a distinct tip geometry for controlled utility work.

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.
