High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kansept Shard Folding Knife is built for those who demand performance, durability, and striking style in a single package. Designed by Kim Ning, a veteran with over 20 years of experience in the knife industry, the Shard reflects a master’s touch in every line and detail. Ning’s reputation for designing blades that balance refined craftsmanship with rugged capability is evident here, making the Shard a standout addition to any everyday carry rotation or knife collection.
The blade is crafted from premium CPM-S35VN stainless steel, a modern high-performance steel prized for its ability to hold an edge under heavy use while resisting corrosion. Measuring 3.48 inches in length and 0.14 inches thick, the blade’s reverse tanto profile offers both strength and cutting precision. A flat grind ensures efficient slicing, while the reinforced tip delivers the toughness needed for piercing and utility tasks. Finished in satin for a clean, professional look, this blade is equal parts workhorse and showpiece.
Deployment is fast, smooth, and reliable thanks to the combination of a flipper tab and an elongated thumb hole, offering true ambidextrous operation. The frame lock system integrates directly into the contoured titanium handle for maximum strength and security. At 7.96 inches overall with a closed length of 3.75 inches, the Shard has the size and balance to handle demanding jobs while remaining easy to carry.
The handle itself is a statement piece. Built from black anodized titanium, it’s lightweight, strong, and sculpted for comfort in hand. The addition of a hand-rubbed copper inlay introduces a unique character that evolves over time as the copper develops its natural patina. This contrast of modern titanium with old-world copper creates a look that’s both rugged and refined. A 3D milled titanium pocket clip ensures secure tip-up, right-hand carry and blends seamlessly with the knife’s elegant lines.
Weighing 4.12 ounces, the Kansept Shard carries with reassuring solidity without becoming cumbersome. A black nylon pouch rounds out the package, providing safe storage when not in use. Whether in the field, the shop, or as part of a professional everyday carry kit, the Shard stands ready to perform. Built for hard use, the Kansept Shard’s 3.48" S35VN reverse tanto blade and titanium/copper handle deliver uncompromising reliability—available at SMKW.
