- KANSEPT Niko Fixed blade Knife with Sheath, 3.54'' Stonewashed D2 Sharp Blade and Blue Micarta with Frag Pattern Handle, Adjustable Kydex Sheath for EDC, Fixed Knifes for Camping Hiking Fishing G004A7

I picked up the Kansept Niko on a whim because I love shred carbon fiber and have been wanting to try a Kansept fixed blade out. Where to start? I was a bit apprehensive in purchasing because of the finger ring at the end of the handle, but figured to go for it anyways. To my suprise the feel in hand is very comfortable and the ring actually aids in pulling the knife from the kydex sheath and keeping a firm grip on the knife. The knife comes very sharp from the factory and has tight retention in the sheathwith no rattle. The clip design allows for a lower carry on the belt and angle is easily adjustable. The factory belt clip can easily be removed and replaced with an Ulti Clip if desired. The 3.54" D2 steel will provide a nice utilitarian edge suitable for a wide range of uses and maintain a edge through use. The handle scales are easily removable with two T8 screws for cleaning of the knife and scales after food prep or animal processing. The Niko has a full tang construction and the thin profile fits very comfortable in the hand. The concave spine and jimping allows for a comfortable place for your thumb to give you more stability and control in your cuts. At only 7.3" overall length this is a very nice and compact fixed blade knife that can easily be part of any every day carry. This may be my first Kansept fixed blade knife, but definitely not my last.

Maybe I'm a fanboy at this point but I love all my Kansept knives. Superb craftsmanship at a decent price point. IMO the quality of Kansept knives rival other's products in the $300-$500 range. The Niko was my first fixed blade, and I love it. Comes super sharp out of the box and just looks amazing. It doesn't weigh a ton and feels really good in the hand. The included sheath is nice and fits well with my only complaint being that the rotating feature is quite stiff, but I imagine it is supposed to be, so it stays put. 100% recommend.

This is a very ergonomic knife. It has a blade that is not to thin at the tip, a problem I find with a lot of these small knives. The sheath fits well and carry’s well. It is well finished with no hot spots. It’ll make a great edc.

Very impressive, I love this knife. Very sharp out of the box. I was a little worried about the handle might be too small but was surprised that it’s perfect. Also, the angle of the handle is perfect to place you finger comfortably into the hole.

Its nice with good size blade and sheath but for my hands it was awkward to hold. Its not a bad blade it will all depend on your hands and how it fits.

sharp and slicey. Perfect for slicing meats !

Great blade,sharp and durable. Got one for me and the wife. The retention on the sheath is just right.

So I purchased this knife and have been using it mainly for preparing food it works great and holds an edge well. The sheath that it came with is pretty good other than the clip, I replaced it with a deep carry metal clip. So comes the real test. I went moose hunting in northern Maine and we shot one a half mile in the woods and had to skin and quarter it to carry it out. this knife performed amazing and held an edge through skinning and quartering the whole animal. The guy I was with went through three razor blades on his skinning knife and dulled his other knife but this one shaved the hair on my arm the next day! Without sharpening.
