Kansept Knives
Matthew Christensen is a knife maker from Steger, Illinois. He started in 2012 customizing productions and eventually moved into folders around 2014. He has specialized in creating a vast spectrum of frame lock and liner lock folding knives, all finely tuned with a signature crisp and fast flipping action. Always pushing the envelope with new designs, they range from small, EDC-friendly to large, overbuilt knives.
The Tarkin front flipper from Kansept is one sleek front flipper knife. Equipped with a quality CPM-20CV black stonewashed modified tanto blade, thumb disc, and front flipper tab for multiple deployment options. The crisp action complements the satisfying click sound made by the lockbar locking the blade in place. The tiger stripe flamed titanium handles provide more than enough grip for daily use. For a truly fantastic front flipper, check out the Kansept Tarkin pocket knife.

Titanium Handles
A nonferrous metal, it's prized for its high strength to weight ratio and is often used on higher end knives.
20V Stainless Steel
A go-to option for premium knives. Made in the USA by Crucible Industries, this powder-metal alloy offers high edge retention and excellent stainless properties.
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.

Smoooooth!
This is my EDC lately and it's hard to explain how great this knife is. Smooth and satisfying? It's amazing that kansept can do better than what Strider struggled to do for twice the price. This is a tact-i-cool knife and TOUGH with PERFECT fit and finish and cuts like a lightsaber. Do not hesitate! You won't be disappointed. I have 2 Tarkins and might get one more.
