The Link, designed by the 18-year-old Canadian knifemaker Johnathan Shaw, showcases a striking blend of tactical aesthetics and everyday practicality. Shaw, the youngest designer on the Kansept Team, has infused the Link with key features of an EDC blade, including excellent ergonomics and engaging fidgetability. The neutral handle shape and forward choil provide comfort, while the prominent front-flipper, broad opening hole, and thumbstud ensure smooth and interactive use. The blade's compound grind and subtly tanto-shaped harpoon design not only deliver a sharp tactical look but also offer a keen point and thin edge for versatile functionality. Crafted from premium materials such as Crucible CPM 20CV steel, Damascus, and high-end handle options like Camo Carbon, Gecko Camo Carbon, Timascus, 6al4v Titanium, and American Made Micarta, the Link represents a perfect fusion of style and utility. Although Shaw has temporarily stepped away from knifemaking to pursue a career as an Engineer Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, he plans to return to his craft after university. In the meantime, he continues to collaborate with companies like Kansept Knives to bring his innovative designs to market.
