Om K29 Foldekniv

Stål og tre er kombinert i denne lommekniven. I tillegg til et utfoldbart blad, har den glassbryter, beltekutter, snørehull og belteklemme. Designet kommer i to utgaver: 'Titanium' i grått med oliventre og 'Tiger' i svart med bocote. For å vise trevirkets naturlige egenskaper, bevares dets opprinnelige utseende, og ingen tilleggsfarge brukes på materialet. Sekskantskruer holder alt sikkert sammen og gjør det mulig å bytte ut deler.

Unike egenskaper: A striking pocket knife design in which steel is combined with wood. In addition to a blade that can be folded out, it features a glass breaker, belt cutter, lanyard hole, and belt clip. The dynamic lines and curves make the design stand out. It comes in two editions: ‘Titanium’ in grey with olive wood and ‘Tiger’ in black with bocote. In order to display the natural qualities of the wood, its original appearance is preserved and no additional color is used on the material.
Dimensjoner og emballasje: Total length, unfolded: 21 cm.
Total length, folded: 12.1 cm.
Stikkord: knife, folding knife, pocket knife, outdoor, safety, adventure, foldable, collapsible, wood, steel
Produksjonsteknologi: The knife is built up in layers. The handle has outside layers that provide volume, which is important for a safe grip. These outside layers are connected to the liners of the handle, to which the wooden parts are connected. The liners also have notches on top that assist in holding the knife when cutting. Hex screws hold everything together securely and make it possible to replace parts.
Designutfordring: Although it is not obvious when observing the pocket knife, the most challenging part was to find the right screws to use. The screws had to be suitable for use in the entire Bergkvist knife collection, to be readily available, and easy to remove and attach.
Forskning: Market research was done by the brand in order to determine the type of product to develop. During the design process, the brand also ran tests with users to assist in decision making.
Inspirasjon: To make the product stand out in the product category, a combination of materials and form language was used that was not available on the market yet. Through the creation of multiple prototypes by the manufacturer, as well as adjustments based on testing these prototypes, it was made sure that the knife was ergonomically and visually optimized.
Prosjektvarighet: The design process started in the end of September 2018 in Berlin. The first version of the product was launched in April 2019 on the German market, with Italy, Spain and France following in the subsequent months.
Driftsflyt: The K29 knife can be opened by using its flipper and/or thumb stud. It automatically locks with its Linerlock mechanism. To fold the knife back, the lock bar should be pressed to the side first. The K29 knife can be opened with one hand. In certain countries and regions it may be prohibited to use and/or carry a knife of this type. Consult the laws that apply to you when considering to buy or use such a product. Don't harm anyone, be careful, and keep knives away from children.
