Kansept has officially unveiled the Nahual, its first folding knife to feature CPM MagnaCut steel paired with a Crossbar Lock mechanism. This release marks a significant step forward for the brand, combining cutting-edge materials with bold design and reliable everyday functionality.
MagnaCut Performance: Built for the Demands of Modern EDC
The Nahual comes equipped with a stonewashed MagnaCut blade measuring 0.137 inches (3.5mm) thick. Known for its impressive blend of corrosion resistance, edge retention, and toughness, MagnaCut represents the current gold standard in high-performance steels for folding knives. With a blade length of 2.95 inches (74.9mm), the Nahual strikes a balance between compact carry and real-world cutting power.
Compact Size, Everyday Capability
The knife's overall length is 7.02 inches (178.3mm), with a total weight of 4.25 oz (120.5g)—a carry-friendly size that maintains heft and control without weighing you down. Whether you’re slicing cordage or prepping kindling, the Nahual is ready to handle a wide range of tasks.
Premium Handle Materials and Subtle Design
The handle pairs bead-blasted titanium with shred carbon fiber inlays, offering both structural strength and refined aesthetics. The contours are clean and ergonomic, designed to deliver a comfortable grip while retaining a sleek, no-nonsense profile.
Crossbar Lock for Ambidextrous Utility
Featuring a Crossbar Lock mechanism, the Nahual is secure, reliable, and fully ambidextrous. One-handed operation is smooth and intuitive, making it suitable for both right- and left-handed users alike.
Designed by Javier Garcia
The Nahual is the latest work from designer Javier Garcia, whose signature aesthetic and practical sensibility shine through. The knife is both visually striking and built for real-world use—a hallmark of Kansept’s design-forward philosophy.
