Kubey Momentum Knife Flame Titanium, Beadblasted M390 by Sherif Manganas (KB386C)

Momentum Flame Titanium, Beadblasted designed by Sherif Manganas is an EDC folder combining precision craftsmanship with minimalist elegance. The drop-point blade, made of premium Böhler M390 steel, ensures durability and a long edge retention. The handle made of titanium 6AL4V ensures a secure grip even in difficult conditions, and the ergonomic profile adapts to the hand. It can be opened with a pin in the clasp or front flipper, which ensures smooth and intuitive one-handed operation. The frame lock mechanism guarantees safe use. It is a well-thought-out design with uncompromising quality, perfect for everyday use.

M390 Microclean® - martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced using powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it is characterized by extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains its edge shape, keeping the blade sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is its resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) with an admixture of 1.9% carbon (C), 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened to 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Vacuum & Cryogenic - the 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 changes the residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing the hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, the steel ensures exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

Blade - Drop Point type, finished with a Beadblasted method to mask small scratches caused during use. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the tip of the blade. The thickness of the blade in combination with the high, flat grind results in an excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth and easy operation and support the opening of the blade with the front flipper (index-finger front flipper) or thumb stud. Upper jimping on the back of the blade, a corrugated thumb rest. The locking mechanism is a robust frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent the locking mechanism from wearing out.

Handle - grips made of titanium 6AL4V with flame-coloring in tiger stripes, a material with high mechanical resistance and almost complete resistance to weather conditions and chemicals, textured with fine milling for better grip. The whole is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium 6AL4V. 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). Space for attaching a safety or decorative cord hidden in the backspacer.
