Hello, knife enthusiasts! Welcome back to another jimping-filled review with Jacrispy. Today, we’re diving into the highly anticipated Kansept Baba Yaga, a knife that’s turning heads in the EDC community. But before we get started, if you enjoy the content, why not consider checking out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more content. With that out of the way, let's get into today's review!

The Packaging: A First Impressive Look

When it comes to unboxing a new knife, the experience is just as important as the tool itself. The Kansept Baba Yaga comes in a sleek, minimalist box. The color of the box is a clean, dark matte finish that feels premium right out of the gate. The front features the Kansept logo in bold, modern font—simple yet eye-catching. On the back, you’ll find some basic information about the knife, ensuring you're ready to appreciate its specs before even handling it.

Inside the box, you’ll find the Baba Yaga snugly housed in protective foam. Kansept does a great job of making sure your new knife arrives safe and sound. Additional items include a microfiber cleaning cloth to keep your blade in top condition, and a couple of Kansept branded stickers—perfect for sticking on your gear or laptop.

The Knife: A Modern Work of Art

Once you’ve got the Baba Yaga in hand, it’s hard not to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship. The handle is made of titanium with a gorgeous bronze finish that not only looks fantastic but provides an incredibly solid grip. As an added bonus, the texture of the titanium gives the knife a refined, premium feel that’s comfortable for everyday carry without feeling overly heavy.

Size and Grip: The Baba Yaga has a well-balanced size—perfect for an EDC. The handle measures 4.42 inches long, while the CPM-20CV steel blade stretches to 3.06 inches. The overall length of the knife is 7.48 inches, making it a versatile size for tasks that demand both precision and durability. The ergonomics of the handle provide a secure grip, even if you’re wearing gloves, and the titanium gives it a slightly warmer feel compared to traditional steel handles.

The Pocket Clip: The Kansept Baba Yaga includes a sturdy pocket clip for easy carry. However, it’s worth noting that the clip is not reversible, which might be a downside for left-handed users. But for most right-handed folks, it sits comfortably in your pocket, ready for action whenever you need it.

No Lanyard Hole: Interestingly, the Baba Yaga doesn’t feature a lanyard hole, which might be a dealbreaker for some users who prefer that extra carry option. But the absence of this feature keeps the design sleek and uninterrupted, which may appeal to minimalists.

Blade Details: Functional Beauty

Moving on to the blade, the Baba Yaga is equipped with a CPM-20CV steel blade, a material known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The blade style is a Wharncliffe, perfect for precision cutting tasks. The shape is ideal for both slicing and detailed work, making it a solid choice for daily use.

Blade Finish & Grind: The blackwashed finish on the blade not only looks badass, but it also adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion, giving the knife a rugged yet refined look. The flat blade grind ensures clean cuts with minimal effort, while the blade’s sharpness out of the box is ready to handle a variety of tasks.

Thumb Studs & Jimping: The blade features thumb studs on either side, making it easy to deploy one-handed. Additionally, the jimping along the spine of the blade provides a secure grip, even when you're using it for more demanding tasks. It's these thoughtful design elements that elevate the Baba Yaga from being just a knife to a well-rounded tool.
