Behind the Pretatout is Jonathan, a designer who spent years working with K-9 units in the French army before turning his attention to knives. Rather than coming from a traditional knife-making background, his designs are rooted in real-world use, where reliability, strength, and ergonomics are not marketing buzzwords but daily requirements. That mindset led to the creation of Kmaxrom Design, with a clear philosophy centered on tools that feel powerful, durable, and comfortable in hand. Fittingly, the name Pretatout translates to “ready for everything,” and as Kmaxrom’s first flipper, it blends modern deployment with classic thumb studs, aiming to be a capable, no-nonsense EDC with a bit of flair.

Kansept has been producing absolute bangers lately, one fantastic release after another. I decided to reach back into the company’s catalog and try one of their older designs to see how it compares. The brand has been doing a lot in terms of tolerances and materials, and I wanted to see how a knife from when the company was still relatively young stacks up against the flood of models coming out today.
