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.
About Design
The Link was designed to have a sharp tactical look while retaining the key features of an EDC blade: excellent ergonomics and fantastic fidgetability. Ergonomics are provided by the neutral handle shape and forward choil, while fidget factor comes from the prominent front-flipper combined with the broad opening hole and thumbstud. While the compound grind and subtly tanto shaped blade fulfils the requirement for a tactical look, it is also a super useable and utilitarian blade shape with its keen point and thin edge. Overall the Link was designed to be one of the best combinations of tactical looks and utilitarianism created by Triple Stripe Knives.

The Damascus steel we use is a premium composite of 9Cr and 440C stainless steels, distinguishing it from lower-quality options. This is genuine, layered stainless Damascus—not simply etched or patterned imitations seen in cheaper knives. Unlike traditional high-carbon Damascus, which is prone to rust, this stainless Damascus combines exceptional durability with corrosion resistance, making it ideal for lasting use. Comparable to high-end stainless Damascus like Damasteel, our steel surpasses carbon-based Damascus commonly used in brands like Kershaw in both quality and performance.
