KSPK1071A4: K1071A4 Echis Flipper, Textured Green Titanium
Kansept Knives
The Kansept Knives Echis flipper knife, named after the saw-scaled viper, boasts a viper-like appearance. This swift frame lock pocket knife offers three deployment options: front and rear flippers plus a blade slot for middle-finger flicks. Despite being light in the pocket due to generous internal milling, the Echis has a substantial presence. It is both capable and comfortable, with attractive surface milling that provides a good grip and pleasant texture. The design evokes the image of venom under a microscope, adding to its unique appeal. This model features a bead blasted titanium handle with a gorgeous milled/textured pattern with a green anodized finish on the front scale, back scale, pocket clip, and a stonewashed modified drop point blade.

Better Than Expected
This is my new favorite knife! I really was skeptical about the blade shape and after using it I am very impressed, it's a cutting board friendly knife. I chose the green handle with the venom engravings and the texture is really nice. The green is sometimes subtle and seems to change with different lighting conditions I love it! Lock up is solid and opens smoothly
