Look
Purple Haze is a superb title for this Fatcarbon model of the Fenrir. It appears to be like nice! It’s very busy, with the variations in carbon fiber after which the variations within the Damascus blade, too.
There are different variations which are “much less” (each much less in value and fewer in issues occurring within the blade and scales).
The look of this blade form is nice, too. They name it a “harpoon” blade.
There’s minimal branding on the Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife, and what’s there may be largely camouflaged by the busy Damascus. However right here we get the designer’s title (Greg Schob) and brand, in addition to the mannequin title.
On the flip facet is the Kansept brand and the knife mannequin quantity.
Open / Shut / Lock
First, there are thumbstuds for opening the Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife.
They’re on either side of the blade, so an ambidextrous opening shouldn’t be an issue.
Subsequent is the crossbar lock choice, whereby you simply launch the crossbar lock, and the blade is free to be flipped open.
Each are very appropriate for opening the Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife – opening is very clean.
For unlocking the Fenrir from an open place, your choice is the Crossbar lock. I like this lock kind, and this can be a very clean model of it.
Construct and Really feel
The construct high quality on this Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife is nice, however that’s no actual shock.
The handles are flat, with no contour. They do have beveled edges, although. The Fatcarbon isn’t sealed and, by its nature, is a bit tough. That roughness is one thing to be a bit cautious of, too. Simply utilizing the knife usually, I received one carbon fiber splinter from the scales. I don’t actually suggest getting carbon fiber splinters.
The blade is completely centered.
Kansept doesn’t say what kind of pivot is within the Fenrir.
The Fatcarbon scales sit atop skeletonized steel liners
Each pivots have TORX entry.
The harpoon blade has a curved space above the thumbstuds. I wouldn’t name it a useful space, but it surely does look good. I suppose it might function a great thumbrest, although.
Right here’s one other take a look at the steel liners, in addition to the backspacer standoffs.

Above you’ll be able to see the Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife with the Civivi Elementum in orange G10. I exploit that knife a lot! I haven’t talked about it a lot but, however that Spyderco Lil Native goes to be my “nicer” knife dimension customary (in the identical manner that I exploit a Convoy S2+ and Hanko Machine Works Trident as flashlight dimension references.)
Right here’s the knife in hand:
Under you’ll be able to see the Kansept Fenrir Fatcarbon knife with the venerable Convoy S2+. The model under is a {custom} laser-engraved Convoy S2+ host by GadgetConnections.com. I did a full publish on an engraved orange host proper right here! Or go straight to GadgetConnections.com to purchase your Convoy S2+ now!
Within the photograph above, you might notice that the SRM (customary reference materials) flashlight for comparability has modified! I used a TorchLAB BOSS 35 for ages. Now, what you’ll be able to see because the 18350 SRM is the Hanko Machine Works Trident. Whereas I’ve not reviewed or examined the Gunner Grip model seen right here, I’ve examined a Hanko Machine Works Trident Whole Tesseract in brass. I like the Trident, and it’s a hanging distinction subsequent to the cheap Convoy S2+, which additionally makes an ideal customary reference materials.
Metal / Lower / Oats
Kansept has used Damascus on this model of the Fenrir. Different variations appear to make use of CPM S35VN metal.
I’m shocked by how a lot this harpoon blade form appeals to me. It feels very suited to the kind of chopping I most frequently must do with a knife like this.

The clip is reversible, however solely tip-up carry is feasible.
There’s additionally a lanyard gap, however no lanyard is included.
Lastly, Kansept contains its customary carry pouch.
Abstract and Conclusion
The Fenrir has been out for lengthy sufficient to build up an incredible 45+ variations. It should be a well-liked knife. I help that conclusion – it looks as if an ideal knife! I significantly like the weird harpoon blade, however would welcome a model that has a barely smaller blade. There are various variations I’d seize earlier than I picked the Fatcarbon scales, although, and a few of these are even more cost effective than this Fatcarbon model.
