CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESInspired by aviation innovation and engineered for everyday excellence, the Kansept Goblin is a compact folding knife that defies expectations. Designed in collaboration with Noble Knives, the Goblin takes cues from the experimental 1948 U.S. Air Force XF-85 “Goblin” fighter jet — a small, powerful aircraft built to operate in tight spaces. That same ethos of precision in a compact form drives the Goblin's modern design and high-performance functionality.
The Goblin is built around a 2.18" CPM-S35VN Wharncliffe blade, featuring a durable black-coated finish. This premium blade steel offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, making it a top choice for those who demand long-term cutting performance. The Wharncliffe profile provides a straight, razor-like edge ideal for detailed slicing, piercing, and controlled utility work. Whether you’re opening packages or tackling more demanding daily tasks, the Goblin delivers with confidence.
Encased in elegant black anodized titanium handles, the Goblin's frame provides a lightweight yet robust grip, augmented by a frame lock to ensure secure blade engagement. The design exhibits a harmonious blend of minimalist aesthetics and tactical functionality, achieving equilibrium between artistic refinement and reliable durability. With a closed length of merely 3.45 inches and an overall weight of 2.4 ounces, the Goblin offers discreet portability while remaining readily accessible for deployment.
The knife features deployment via a front flipper or thumb hole, utilizing a ceramic ball bearing pivot system to ensure rapid and fluid action. The responsive flipping mechanism and ergonomic handle design collectively offer superior control during use, thereby solidifying the knife's position as a highly capable everyday carry instrument.
Kansept’s attention to detail is evident in every line, contour, and hardware choice. The Goblin’s compact form factor doesn’t just make it ideal for discreet carry—it also elevates it to a must-have for collectors who appreciate refined design and high-grade materials. A tip-up pocket clip allows secure and comfortable carry, completing the knife’s functional, no-nonsense profile.
Whether you're an EDC enthusiast or a collector of bold, tactical blades, the Kansept Goblin brings aerospace-inspired performance into the palm of your hand.
