Legend has it that Kansas was once a sub-brand of Vauen's created by their Greek briar supplier, Achaiki Amadeus, that was later formalised into being a fully fledged line under the Vauen brand. Whether true or not is a tale lost o time, but what we do know is that the modern Kansas line features an extra dark sandblast paired to a jet-black acrylic stem, all contrasted perfectly by a shining nickel band.
