I just ordered and received this Tenable Fenrir (green aluminum "fish scale" handles scales, Nitro V stonewash blade, button operated top liner lock). Value-version of the Kansept Fenrir.
Knife is a medium/larger EDC folder in my view; a bit smaller than a Spyderco Para 2, but a bit larger than many of the 3" - 3 1/4" folders in this category. The action is very snappy and fidget-friendly. The lock up seems very solid (I'm not one to smack the back spine of my folders to test the lock; I mean seriously - all my knife use is pushing the blade in the opposite direction). Blade came sharp but as pointy as the knife looks, the actual tip isn't needle pointy like a Spyderco Para 2 or 3. Blade on the Ferir has a matte stonewash. One nitpick; there's no jimping on the blade at all, and the harpoon style ramp in above the thumb studs should have some like on a Para 2. The knife overall feels very solid and has heft to it. It's a 3.5mm thick blade that has a distal taper to the point and that blade thickness and profile lends a sense of toughness to the blade. Perfectly centered blade when closed. Swings free. Flat grind with nice accent flat cuts towards the spine. pocket clip is deep carry with flat screw heads but I'm not a fan of the upwards swoop angle at the end of the clip. While I like aluminum handled, for some reason the finish on these seems... I don't know, not as nice or refined as like on a Vosteed Marten 330. Also I like solid back spacers and this Fenrir has barrel spacers. For $68 it's a winner for sure but could be even better with a few minor tweaks in my opinion.
Overall Length 7.89''/200.4mm
Blade Length 3.4''/86.4mm
Blade Thickness 0.137''/3.5mm
Blade Material Stonewashed Nitro V
Blade Style Harpoon Blade
Blade Grind Flat Grind
Blade Finish Stonewashed
Handle Material Green Anodized Aluminum with Fishscale Texture
Color Green Anodized
Lock Type Top Liner Lock
Weight 4.14oz/117.4
Hardness 58-60 HRC
Size comparison to Spyderco Para 2
