I’ve been writing about Kansept Knives for a long time now, and in doing so have really come to appreciate the talented designers they team up with and the unique knives that emerge.
As excellent as their materials and functionality tend to be, however, if I had to describe the brand in one word and my options were “classy” and “funky,” I would instinctively pick the latter — with a touch of “audacious” thrown in for good measure.
However, every once in a while they release a knife that not only delivers with its ingredients and construction but also makes my jaw drop a bit, as it does when I spot, say, a finely crafted dive watch.
That is where I am landing with the brand’s latest launch, the Quasar, which packs a bit of funk into a high style that makes me wonder whether it descended from the heavens to help us humble humans slice stuff whilst dripping with swag.

While there’s definitely some distinctive shaping to the bolster at the top of the handle, overall the Paul Munko-designed Quasar is pretty restrained by Kansept standards.
Overall the look is refreshing minimalist, enabling the knife’s form and function to organically deliver all you need for any EDC task.
