KB KNIVES Spike KB406C Frame Lock EDC Knife – DLC Titanium Folder with Zircuti Inlay & Bohler M390 Wharncliffe Blade for Premium Daily Carry
For EDC collectors seeking a sleek, ultra-light luxury folding knife that combines elite steel performance and striking custom metal detailing, the KB Spike KB406C frame lock folder stands out as a top-tier daily carry piece. Masterminded by designer Maksim Epifantsev, this refined titanium tool balances compact portability, reliable cutting power and head-turning aesthetics, fully protected by a comprehensive lifetime manufacturer warranty.
The knife’s cutting core is a precision 3.11-inch Wharncliffe blade forged from premium Bohler M390 super stainless steel. Each blade undergoes professional vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment to hit HRC 60–62 hardness, delivering unmatched edge retention and corrosion resistance for daily slicing tasks. Its flat-ground plain edge is sharpened at a precise 15°–20° angle, while a uniform DLC black coating shields the blade from scratches, abrasion and fingerprints, maintaining a stealth matte finish. At 0.13 inches thick, the blade balances structural rigidity and clean, controlled cutting.
Every structural base component is machined from lightweight titanium and finished with matching DLC coating, including the frame lock handle base, back spacer, pocket clip, pivot cap and all titanium screws. The standout feature is the vivid swirling Zircuti metal inlay embedded into each handle scale, creating an iridescent blue-purple circular pattern that contrasts dramatically against the dark DLC frame, making this folder a true collector’s statement piece.
A robust titanium frame lock eliminates blade play during heavy use, while caged ceramic ball bearings at the pivot enable silky-smooth ambidextrous one-handed opening. Weighing only 2.86 oz (81 g), the KB Spike KB406C avoids bulky pocket weight, with an overall length of 7.72 inches and a dedicated tip-up right-side titanium clip for low-profile discrete carry. The slim 0.47-inch handle thickness sits comfortably in pockets without creating uncomfortable bulge.
Merging world-class Bohler M390 metallurgy, full DLC titanium build, artistic Zircuti decorative inlay and smooth bearing frame lock operation, the KB Spike KB406C is a sophisticated lightweight premium folder that satisfies both performance-focused daily users and aesthetic-driven knife collectors.
