KSPK1022B8: K1022B8 Model 6 Flipper Knife, Lightning Strike Titanium
Kansept Knives
The Model 6 was designed to be a working knife that could be used for various daily tasks, but could instantly be deployed as a self-defense tool. The 3.1" sheepsfoot blade provides a reliable edge that delivers solid cutting performance in daily tasks. The smooth action of the blade is fidgety and easy to actuate thanks to the great pivot design. The ergonomic titanium handle for a smooth gripping surface that is comfortable in the pocket or hand. The included milled pocket clip is strong and holds the knife securely wherever life takes you.
About Designer
As a retired law enforcement officer, Nick Swan needed a knife that he could trust his life on, not only as a last line of defense but as an everyday tool. He doesn't believe in "safe queens" and refuses to own a knife that he won't actually use.

Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.
S35VN Stainless Steel
An evolution of the popular S30V steel, S35VN offers a greater degree of toughness without much sacrifice in edge retention. Perfect for mid-range and premium knives.

Too bad about the flipper tab...
The big negative on this knife is the flipper tab. It is positioned in the wrong place (below the pivot point), is too tiny & has terrible, slick jimping. It is also difficult to open the blade using the poorly placed thumbhole. That aside, once open the blade is great. Love the size, shape & steel. Someone dropped the ball on this one. These issues should not have passed muster at Kansept.

On the whole a good knife
Kansept makes good knives. This one is great except for the wimpy flipper tab. It is too short & stubby, located too far below the axis & what jumping there is is way too smooth. The thumb hole is in an awkward spot for me making it difficult for me to use. The rest of the knife is GREAT! Fit, finish, action all spot on. Love the blade shape & steel. It has that Kansept feel once you get the blade moving. It's a beautiful knife. Too bad about the flipper tab.
