The Kubey Microburst KU455D is a darker variant of K.C. Spiron’s compact fixed-blade design, combining brown Micarta with a Sandvik 14C28N steel blade finished with a blackwashed treatment. The full-tang construction, black fasteners, and Kydex sheath create a cohesive, practical set.
The 75.00 mm blade features a Sheepsfoot profile and a flat grind. The knife weighs 90.00 g, allowing the Microburst to remain lightweight despite its solid fixed-blade construction.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. The vacuum hardening process combined with cryogenic treatment promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties.
Sheepsfoot, flat grind, and Blackwashed
The Sheepsfoot profile provides good control during use, while the flat grind offers a versatile working geometry. The blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor signs of wear.
Brown Micarta, Full Tang, and Black PVD
The handle is made of brown Micarta and mounted on a Full Tang construction. The grips are secured with steel screws coated in black PVD, which complement the blade’s dark finish well.
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath and TEK-Lok, allowing you to conveniently attach the set to your belt or gear.
