We analyze the universal approximation property of Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (KANs) in terms of their edge functions. If these functions are all affine, then universality clearly fails. How many non-affine functions are needed, in addition to affine ones, to ensure universality? We show that a single one suffices. More precisely, we prove that deep KANs in which all edge functions are either affine or equal to a fixed continuous function $σ$ are dense in $C(K)$ for every compact set $K\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ if and only if $σ$ is non-affine. In contrast, for KANs with exactly two hidden layers, universality holds if and only if $σ$ is nonpolynomial. We further show that the full class of affine functions is not required; it can be replaced by a finite set without affecting universality. In particular, in the nonpolynomial case, a fixed family of five affine functions suffices when the depth is arbitrary. More generally, for every continuous non-affine function $σ$, there exists a finite affine family $A_σ$ such that deep KANs with edge functions in $A_σ\cup\{σ\}$ remain universal. We also prove that KANs with the spline-based edge parameterization introduced by Liu et al.~\cite{Liu2024} are universal approximators in the classical sense, even when the spline degree and knot sequence are fixed in advance.
