197,87 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
KB Knives Fang Gray Titanium, Bead Blasting M390 by Capricorn Knives (KB451A) is a premium EDC mini folder featuring a Spear Point blade, Böhler M390 steel, and a Diamond Milling titanium handle.
KB Knives Fang – a compact mini-folder designed by Capricorn Knives
KB Knives Fang Gray Titanium, Bead Blasting M390 by Capricorn Knives (KB451A) combines a very compact format with materials typically found in premium folding knives. The Capricorn Knives design features a Spear Point blade, a titanium handle with a Gray Sandblasted / Diamond Milling finish, and a Frame Lock, creating a small folding knife for everyday carry. Despite its small size, the design retains its technical character, good rigidity, and comfortable handling, while the reversible clip allows you to adjust how it’s carried for either a right or left pocket.
The blade is made of Böhler M390 powder steel, which has undergone vacuum heat treatment and a cryogenic process. A hardness of 60–62 HRC ensures long-lasting sharpness, while the flat grind provides controlled blade guidance when cutting cardboard, packaging, tape, and small EDC items. The Bead Blasting finish gives the blade a uniform, matte texture. The flipper opening mechanism works with ceramic ball bearings to ensure smooth and consistent operation.
Böhler M390 steel Spear Point blade
The Spear Point profile ensures a centrally guided tip, good cutting control, and precise blade guidance in a compact format. This geometry works well for everyday cutting of packaging, plastic wrap, tape, thin cords, and cardboard. The flat grind reduces resistance during cutting and allows for effective use of the short blade. The Bead Blasting finish emphasizes the technical character of the model while maintaining a subdued, functional appearance.
Böhler M390 is a premium powder-metallurgy steel, valued for its excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Vacuum treatment and cryogenic annealing help achieve stable properties at a hardness of 60–62 HRC. In practice, this means a blade well-suited for a small EDC folder that is designed to hold its edge for a long time despite regular use.
Titanium Diamond Milling Handle and Frame Lock
The handle, made of Titanium, ensures high rigidity and mechanical strength while maintaining a low weight. The Gray Sandblasted / Diamond Milling finish combines a matte surface with diamond-pattern milling, which gives the design a more distinctive visual rhythm and supports a more secure grip. The titanium backspacer and clip maintain the material consistency of the entire folder.
The Frame Lock utilizes a spring-loaded section of the titanium handle to stabilize the blade when open. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth pivot operation, and the flipper allows for quick, one-handed manual opening. The titanium right/left tip-up clip lets you adjust the carry side, while the included Pouch protects the knife during transport and storage.
