KB Knives Velvet Snake Frame Lock Folding Knife [KB266A]

Velvet Snake — a composite grip beside a metal bolster

The Velvet Snake separates its handle into a carbon-fiber gripping section and a titanium bolster near the pivot. That construction gives the knife a different material layout from an all-metal frame, with the blade folding between the handle sides for carrying.

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

Carbon fiber reinforces a resin-based composite. Its weave or patterned layup is part of the handle’s appearance, while an inlay is distinct from a full carbon-fiber structural scale.

Supplied equipment

Black nylon zippered storage case.
