KB KNIVES Mantra KB459C Frame‑Lock Folder – Black PVD‑Coated Titanium Handle, 3.39‑inch DLC Bohler‑M390 Wharncliffe‑Blade Knife for EDC and Tactical Use
Designed by PG Knives, the KB Mantra KB459C blends minimalist tactical styling with professional‑grade performance for everyday‑carry enthusiasts and tactical‑focused users. Made in China and backed with a lifetime warranty, this ambidextrous‑friendly folder works great for regular household cutting, package opening, outdoor preparation and light tactical‑related jobs.
Its cutting core is a 3.39‑inch Bohler M390 wharncliffe blade. The straight‑edged wharncliffe geometry delivers precise controlled slicing which stands out for detail‑orientated cutting work. Every blade goes through strict vacuum and cryogenic heat‑treatment to achieve stable HRC60‑62 hardness. It features a high‑flat ground plain edge sharpened at a factory angle of 15‑20 degrees to maintain long‑lasting sharpness. The DLC black coating shields the blade against scratches, fingerprints and corrosion without compromising steel hardness after heat‑treatment. When fully opened, the knife reaches an overall length of 7.72 inches while weighing only 3.67 oz (104 g). Its lightweight build prevents hand fatigue during prolonged pocket‑carry.
The handle is precision‑machined from aerospace‑grade titanium with uniform black PVD finishing. The streamlined ergonomic contour delivers a secure comfortable hold, and the 0.51‑inch handle thickness strikes a balance between sturdy construction and pocket‑friendly size. Equipped with frame‑lock structure and caged ceramic ball bearings, the knife provides effortless blade deployment together with rock‑solid zero‑wobble lock‑up even during heavy‑duty cutting sessions.
A standout upgrade is its reversible tip‑up pocket clip that supports both left‑hand and right‑hand carry. All hardware including back spacer, pivot cap and screws is finished with black‑PVD‑coated titanium for consistent dark aesthetics and long‑term durability.
If you want a practical precision‑cutting work‑horse or a sleek addition for your knife collection, the KB Mantra KB459C with premium M390 steel and full‑titanium build will satisfy you completely. It is a fantastic choice for knife lovers chasing both functionality and modern tactical‑looking appearance.
