Kansept Integra Flipper Knife Review

The Kansept Integra flipper knife has G10 handles and 154CM blade steel designed by JK Knives from Poland. It has ceramic ball bearings and a titanium clip.

Official Specs

Here’s a link to the Kansept Integra flipper knife.

Versions

There are a bunch of versions of the Kansept Integra flipper knife! Some have titanium scales, and some of those are anodized titanium. There’s even an entropic version! Of the G10 options, there are three. Quite a few blade options exist as well. There’s plain, satin, black DLC (seen here), as well as Damascus!

Price

The Kansept Integra flipper knife seen here (the “Black G10”) comes in at the least pricey $79.52. The Ingetra ranges all the way up to $239, though, with the Damascus-blade entropic-scale version not being the most expensive!! It’s $220!

Look

The G10 scales stand out on the Kansept Integra flipper knife. The whole of this black version is quite blacked out! The scales are black G10. The titanium pocket clip is coated (and weathered) black. The blade too, is black!

I think the Kansept Integra flipper knife has a sort of “proud” look – the blade rises off the table (below) but still seems friendly enough. I like this shape – they call it a Drop Point.

There’s minimal branding! Another thing I like!

Open / Close / Lock

This knife is a flipper. Like “dedicated, you’re opening me this way” flipper. That’s fine since I love flippers!

One thing I love about the Kansept Integra flipper knife is how subtle the flip tab is. The little node sticks up just enough, and no extra. But the action is great. Push back and own, and fwick the blade flings open.

As for locking, well this is a liner lock. That means there are metal lingers in the G10 scales. One of the liners leans into the blade so that it blocks the blade from closing. This works very effectively, and unlocking to close the knife is very simple, too.

Build and Feel

I like G10 quite a bit, notably because it provides adequate (or even “extra”) grip. This G10 has a bit of texture, so the Kansept Integra flipper knife is unlikely for you to be hard to manage.

I can see or imagine that some of the other versions might be a little more slick than this one.

Here you can see that the flipper tab has a bit of jimping.

And the other end has a full closed backspacer (almost certainly also titanium, but I don’t know that for sure.)

Here’s a better look at this backspacer. Functionally this isn’t much different from backspacer posts, but this does seem more sturdy (whether it actually is or not.)

The blade is perfectly centered!

Kansept says this is a “drop point” blade but I think it’s slightly modified. The nose sort of sits a bit pointed for a standard drop point. Ultimately that’s fine though, because the cutting surface has a nice curve. It’s more like what I’d call a modified reverse Tanto drop point, as it has characteristics of both those styles.

The metal liners go the full length of these scales, which lends to the knife’s rigidity and integrity.

The blade does ship with a bit of oil. You can see on the wipe how much came off. Not much, but you might want to clean it up upon arrival.

Size

Overall Length 8.5”/216mm
Blade Length 3.63”/92.1mm
Blade Thickness 0.118″ / 3.0mm
Weight 4.2oz/119g

This is by no means a “small” knife.

I don’t love big knives, but this one isn’t really “big” it’s just long. However, it’s quite slim! I never carried it in a pocket (too long really) but it rides in a bag very nicely.

Steel / Cut / Oats

The Kansept Integra flipper knife gets 154CM steel, which I think is pretty standard.

Retention

A titanium pocket clip is included with the Integra. It’s installed, and can’t really be moved.

Unlike some of the other Kansept knives (like the Anomaly, which I love), this one has just a “bent titanium” clip. I shouldn’t say “just” – titanium is a treat! It’s not steel, anyway.

The backside of the Integra does not have screw holes for a clip. This clip placement allows only tip-up carry.

Summary and Conclusion

The Kansept Integra flipper knife is a well-constructed, inexpensive fancy long pocket knife. I love the flipper-ness of it, and the action there is fantastic. The lockup also seems very secure but still easy to release. I love the design enough that I’d even love to see a mini version! Do check out some of the other versions, though – that Damascus with Entropic is incredible!
