Look
I’ve little question that this ivory (white) G10 shall be almost unimaginable to maintain clear. However within the interim of opening it and getting it soiled, it appears unbelievable. The one factor I’d like extra (in white) is precise ivory!
As a result of the tang is only a bit rounded, the knife received’t stand (for images – clearly in any other case this doesn’t matter). However the rounded backbone does make the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife very comfy to carry!
Open / Shut / Lock
This can be a fastened blade knife, so there’s no “open/shut/lock.” It’s all the time open!
Construct and Really feel
The construct high quality of the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife is nice – I have no idea something that may very well be higher.
There’s minimal (however actually “sufficient”) branding on the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife. The Kansept emblem, together with the mannequin quantity and blade metal (Nitro-V), will be seen right here.
The opposite facet shows the Sparrow Knife Design emblem in addition to the mannequin and designer’s title. This knife is designed by Greg Schob.
The backbone has an space with some ridges that aren’t actually “jimping” per se, however do present a superb little bit of grip.
The knife is full-tang, after all, and as said above, the backbone is rounded only a bit.
The backbone is uncovered only a bit over the handles, all the way in which round (prime and backside). This isn’t good or dangerous usually talking, however I do assume it appears nice. It’s nonetheless a really exact match, even when it’s not a “flush design.”

Above, you may see the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife with the Civivi Elementum in orange G10. I take advantage of 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 commonplace (in the identical means that I take advantage of a Convoy S2+ and Hanko Machine Works Trident as flashlight dimension references).
Right here’s the knife in hand:
There’s completely not room for a four-finger grip, however the Kansept Valk Fastened blade knife remains to be very controllable.
Beneath you may see the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife with the venerable Convoy S2+. The model beneath is a brass Convoy S2+.
Within the photograph above, it’s possible you’ll be aware that the SRM (commonplace reference materials) flashlight for comparability has modified! I used a TorchLAB BOSS 35 for ages. Now, what you may 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 really like the Trident, and it’s a hanging distinction subsequent to the cheap Convoy S2+, which additionally makes an ideal commonplace reference materials.
Metal / Lower / Oats
The Kansept Valk fastened blade knife makes use of Nitro-V.
Kansept calls this a “reverse Tanto” blade model. I’m not normally a Tanto fan, however reverse is normally high quality. And that’s the case right here too – I fairly like this blade!
Specifically, I like that this isn’t some huge fastened blade. The blade size is 3″, and that’s about excellent. Yet one more level concerning the tang extending a bit across the scales – that makes the knife really feel smaller too, which once more, is welcome.
Nitro-V is alleged by bpsknives.com to have the next properties:
- Distinctive corrosion resistance
- Straightforward to sharpen
- Robust efficiency at skinny edge geometry
- Secure working sharpness
- Wonderful worth
Retention
The primary technique to carry the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife would be the included holster.
The holster has slightly space alongside the highest that’s excellent to push towards (as designed) to take away the Valk from the sheath.
This can be a taco-style sheath. Yet one more factor that I choose! This retains the sheath fairly small.
There are three loops the place you would possibly lash the sheath to a bag or the like.
The sheath additionally has a belt attachment.
This may be moved round to these different three holes and in addition twisted in order that the knife can go in different orientations.
And at last, there’s a lanyard gap constructed into the tang.
Abstract and Conclusion
I actually love the Kansept Valk fastened blade knife. The “ivory” G10 could be very good, and the strains present good grip. The Valk would possibly even make a superb check mattress for designing your personal scales – good worth and straightforward to take away scales. Or simply go for the flamboyant copper carbon fiber model! That fancy model doesn’t add a lot to the associated fee. I additionally particularly like that the Valk isn’t enormous! I like the three″ blade and that the handles aren’t flush with the tang (once more, offering an general smaller really feel). The value can also be proper!
