Kansept Knives Eaglestrike Folders

The premium Kansept Eaglestrike models feature CPM-S35VN stainless steel, while the budget oriented versions under the Tenable sub-brand use Nitro-V. You can learn more about these materials in our guide to the best knife steels.

The main differences are the materials and weight, as the Kansept version uses titanium handles and S35VN steel whereas the Tenable Eaglestrike uses Micarta or aluminum with Nitro-V steel. The Tenable versions are lighter at approximately 3.99 ounces and offer a more neutral balance compared to the handle heavy titanium models.
