Kubey KB Knives Coeus Black Titanium/Timascus, Black DLC CPM S35VN (KB286B)

Coeus Black Titanium/Timascus, Black DLC is an elegant folding knife that combines modern design with the highest quality workmanship. Its wide blade is made of the excellent CPM S35VN steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness. The 6AL4V titanium handle is lightweight and extremely durable, and the decorative Timascus inlays add a unique touch, creating a unique color pattern. The ergonomic shape of the handle guarantees a secure and comfortable grip, even during prolonged use. The frame lock increases work safety by preventing the blade from folding accidentally during use. Thanks to the ceramic ball bearings, the opening mechanism works smoothly and without resistance, allowing the knife to be quickly unfolded with one hand. The titanium clip allows the knife to be securely fixed in the pocket, ensuring discreet and safe carrying.

Kubey is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality knives at a great price! The company's motto is “An Edge Above the Rest”. By using high-speed CNC machine tools, milling machines, laser cutting and custom hand finishing, the brand focuses on quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design.

CPM S35VN – American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best steels for blade production. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while maintaining the highest level of corrosion resistance. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM). The CPM process produces a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods. The chemical composition is balanced to consist of 0.5% niobium (Nb) carbides together with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without compromising wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved toughness of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.

Vacuum & Cryogenic - CPM S35VN steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment: the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment: After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation converts retained austenite into martensite, significantly increasing hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, CPM S35VN steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) increases the durability of the blade surface with a black, matte nanocomposite coating that has unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most scratch- and wear-resistant coatings used in industry, including the knife industry.

Blade - slim and extremely sharp leaf-shaped blade with a black DLC coating. The long cutting edge converges towards the aggressive tip of the blade. The thickness of the blade in combination with the high, flat cut gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure a smooth and easy opening mechanism of the blade by means of an oval hole milled in the blade. On the back of the blade, there is an upper jimping, a corrugated thumb rest. The whole is locked with a modern Frame Lock with a steel inlay to prevent the lock face from wearing off.

Handle - profiled grips made of titanium 6AL4V with perfectly fitting inlays made of Timascus. The whole is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of use. The pivot axis is decorated with a titanium cap (Pivot Cap) in a contrasting color. The single position (right) titanium deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). The protruding part of the backspacer has a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord, and can also be used as an improvised glass breaker.
