Premium knives no doubt, one alone covered the cost of the mystery box. They're not really my taste or what I had hoped for though. One is pretty decent, only a flipper tab deployment and just a button lock, but s35vn steel, on both knives, titanium dimascus of some sort. The other I had to die grind the jimping to be able to effectively front flip it, needed more bite for your finger. I also had to disassemble and grind to make room to be able to utilize the fuller hole for deployment, which the hole is small making it less than ideal, definitely not a fidget knife, not easily anyhow. It is an older model though I think so 🤷
Maybe someone with kansept will read this review and surprise me by sending something a little smaller, lighter, more pocket friendly? And that has more, multiple methods of deployment, front flipper, nice fuller hole, rear flipper too maybe, top liner lock instead of a button or liner lock lol
I highly doubt it but you never know I guess. I'm really considering the vosteed x nymble vanchor lock as my next purchase. If I was to receive a better, more suitable and useable knife without having to modify it in order to be deployed in any manner than just rolling it open by thumb, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another kansept from their new lineup forsures.
The decent more expensive knife I recieved is the shikari SBL black stonewashed CPM S35VN, Black stonewashed titanium and black white gmascus. For all the titanium I thought it'd be lighter. The clip isn't too deep carry either.
The knife I had to modify to be useable is the MATO, Satin cpm s35vn twill carbon fiber plus blue black g10. Heavy, full liners, not very functional deployment without modifying, not a fan unfortunately.
I'm sure there are many multiple different knives in the mystery boxes though. Likely only 1 would be worth the cost of the box or more. I'd be hesitant to purchase again for the fear of getting the same or similar knife/knives that I'm not overly satisfied with in the first place.
Your luck may differ though, perhaps you'd be more satisfied with the knives I got than I am? Taste and preference is subjective.
I thought I'd take a chance, surprises are nice, I wouldn't recommend that anyone with any interest of purchasing to not try your luck. It's a neat concept, I wish every company did the same or similar.
Wow long winded haha, if you got through this, and they actually post it, to clarify, take the plunge, try your luck and purchase. Even if you aren't a big fan of the model you received, I'm very confident that they will be quality high end knives at least!
Cheers
