Kansept Tarkin Knife Review: Sleek, Sharp, and Ready for Action

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Jimping with Jacrispy blog review! Today, I’m excited to share my thoughts on a stunning new addition to the knife world: the Kansept Tarkin. Before we dive into the review, be sure to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Let’s not waste any more time and get into the nitty-gritty of this amazing knife!

Unboxing Experience

When you first lay eyes on the Kansept Tarkin’s box, you'll immediately notice the sleek, modern design that sets the tone for the knife inside. The box features clean lines with the Kansept logo prominently displayed, making it clear that this is a high-quality, well-crafted product. The color scheme is minimalistic and stylish, giving you an immediate sense of sophistication. On the front of the box, you’ll see the knife model name, while the back of the box provides some technical details about the blade and its materials.

Inside the box, Kansept makes sure you’re well-equipped with more than just the knife. You’ll find a cleaning cloth to maintain the blade, some stickers to personalize your gear, and of course, the knife itself. Overall, the packaging does a great job of protecting the blade while offering a premium unboxing experience.

Handle Material and Build Quality

Now let’s talk about the handle of the Kansept Tarkin. The flamed titanium handle is absolutely gorgeous, sporting a tiger stripe pattern that adds a touch of elegance and ruggedness. The titanium not only looks great but also ensures durability and a lightweight feel. However, it’s worth noting that there is no lanyard hole—something to keep in mind for those who like to add a bit of personal flair or functionality with a lanyard.

In terms of grip, the handle’s ergonomic design is exceptional, offering a comfortable hold even during extended use. The flamed titanium provides a nice, secure grip, and the overall weight distribution is perfectly balanced.

Blade Features and Performance

The Tarkin’s blade is a standout feature, crafted from CPM-20CV steel, which is known for its incredible edge retention and corrosion resistance. The tanto blade style provides a sharp, pointed tip that’s perfect for precision cuts, while the satin blade finish adds a touch of class. The blade grind is flat, ensuring a clean, smooth cutting experience.

As for functionality, the knife utilizes thumb studs for easy one-handed opening, while the jimping on the spine of the blade enhances grip and control when performing detailed cuts. Whether you’re using it for everyday carry or more serious tasks, the Kansept Tarkin’s blade will not disappoint.

Locking Mechanism and Pocket Clip

The framelock mechanism is solid and secure, offering excellent stability when the knife is in use. It’s easy to engage and disengage, making it perfect for one-handed operation. The pocket clip is also worth mentioning—it’s designed for tip-up carry, but unfortunately, it’s not reversible, so left-handed users might find this a bit inconvenient. Nonetheless, the clip holds the knife securely in place and makes for easy, discreet carry.

Size and Specifications

Let’s break down the key specifications of the Kansept Tarkin:

• Handle length: 4.45 inches
• Blade length: 3.42 inches (CPM-20CV Tanto blade)
• Overall length: 7.87 inches

This knife strikes the perfect balance between being large enough for serious cutting tasks but compact enough for everyday carry. It’s a versatile EDC blade that’s ready to handle whatever you throw at it.

Variants and Availability

The Kansept Tarkin comes in six different variants, each offering its own unique twist on the design. No matter your style or preference, you’re sure to find something that suits you. All variants are available for purchase on our website as of the release of this video.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Kansept Tarkin is a fantastic knife that combines form, function, and top-tier materials. With its stunning flamed titanium handle, CPM-20CV tanto blade, and ergonomic design, it’s a must-have for any serious knife enthusiast or everyday carry user. The only downside is the non-reversible pocket clip, but this is a minor issue in an otherwise excellent knife.

If you’re in the market for a new EDC blade, the Kansept Tarkin is definitely worth checking out. Thank you all for tuning in to today’s review.
