Today we're taking a first look at the Kansept Knives Ptarmigan, a premium titanium frame lock designed by Jared Price. Featuring a CPM S35VN blade, titanium construction, and clean, refined styling, the Ptarmigan aims to deliver a high-end everyday carry experience without venturing into full custom knife pricing. In this first impressions video, I'll cover the design, ergonomics, action, fit and finish, pocketability, and overall value to see whether the Kansept Ptarmigan deserves a spot in your EDC rotation. Let me know in the comments what you think of this knife and whether it's a model you'd consider adding to your collection.
