KANSEPT Osprey Thumb Hole Knife Blue Anodized Titanium Handle (2.23'' CPM-S35VN Blade) Jonathan Shaw Design - K2087A4
About Designer
As an 18-year-old Canadian knifemaker, Johnathan Shaw is the youngest designer on the Kansept Team. From a very young age Johnathan had a keen interest in knives and tools. When this interest crossed paths with working with his hands, a brand-new fixation was formed: knifemaking. At age 14 he took a headlong dive into the craft and dedicated himself to creating the best knives he could. This lasted for just three years, as Johnathan recently closed his shop to begin a career in the Canadian Armed Forces as an Engineer Officer. While he is currently no longer able to make knives, he plans to return after university and start again. Until then, Johnathan will continue to work with companies like Kansept Knives to bring his designs to market.
