KB Knives Merced Frame Lock Black PVD Folding Knife [KB352C]

Merced — an extended drop point in a full-size grip

The Merced pairs a long drop-point working edge with a correspondingly substantial handle. Its blade reach suits longer cutting strokes, while the actual closed length should guide expectations for pocket space and carrying position.

Opening and lock operation

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.

Steel and maintenance

M390 is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel with high wear resistance and good corrosion resistance. Its appeal is an edge that resists abrasive wear during repeated cutting; regular light maintenance helps avoid a more demanding full resharpening.

Handle construction

Titanium provides a corrosion-resistant metal structure. Anodizing and surface machining change its appearance and contact texture; they are different treatments from adding a separate grip scale or inlay.
