The KB Knives Jarpen, designed by Kot Knives, is a compact crossbar lock folder built for those who appreciate precision, strength, and refined design. Its smooth crossbar lock delivers confident, ambidextrous operation with a crisp, reliable feel, while thumb stud openers provide fast, controlled deployment. The frag textured titanium handle offers excellent grip without sacrificing comfort, giving the Jarpen a confident presence in hand while keeping the profile clean and classy. Every detail reflects a premium build focused on durability, balance, and everyday performance.
At the heart of the Jarpen is a blade crafted from CPM S90V stainless steel, a high vanadium super steel known for exceptional edge retention and outstanding wear resistance.
