Kubey / KB Knives Bluff Crossbar Lock Folding Knife - 3.19" Bohler M390 DLC Stonewash Drop Point Blade - Bronze Anodized Titanium Handle (KB383I)
Product Description
Engineered for discerning everyday carry enthusiasts who demand premium materials, fluid action, and refined tactical aesthetics, the Kubey / KB Knives Bluff (KB383I) delivers elite craftsmanship in an ultra-capable profile. Designed by custom knife maker Garet Caronna, the Bluff series elevates the classic daily carry folder with precision CNC machining, high-end metallurgy, and modern crossbar lock utility.
The core of the KB383I is its 3.19-inch drop point blade forged from premium Austrian Bohler M390 powder metallurgy stainless steel. Heat-treated via vacuum cryogenic processing to 60-62 HRC, M390 is celebrated across the knife community for its extraordinary wear resistance, edge longevity, and corrosion defense. The blade features a stealthy DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) stonewash finish that masks scuffs from hard daily use while eliminating glare. Dual titanium thumb studs and a smooth pivot riding on caged ceramic ball bearings allow for lightning-fast, ambidextrous deployment.
The handle is 3D precision-machined from solid 6AL4V titanium and finished in an elegant Bronze anodization. Smooth contours and refined edge chamfering provide a comfortable, palm-filling grip that prevents hot spots during extended cutting tasks. Driven by an ambidextrous Crossbar Lock mechanism, the action remains safe, fluid, and effortless to operate without placing fingers in the path of the closing blade. Complete with a matching sandblasted titanium pocket clip configured for tip-up right-hand carry, the KB Knives Bluff KB383I is an outstanding primary EDC asset.
*Bench Notes & Field Care Guidance:*
Forged from Bohler M390 stainless steel and protected by a hard DLC stonewash finish, the Bluff KB383I offers exceptional resistance against corrosion and field wear. While M390 requires minimal maintenance, keeping the pivot point clean and lubricated with a quality synthetic oil ensures the Crossbar Lock mechanism maintains its smooth action. The bronze anodized titanium handles can be easily wiped clean with a microfiber cloth; if skin oils mute the bronze color over time, a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol restores the vivid anodized luster.
