KB Knives Albatross Framelock Folder Flamed Ti W/Micro Mill BB M390 Clip Point KUB471B

The KB Knives Albatross Framelock Folder in flamed titanium is a bold, high-performance everyday carry built with precision, durability, and unmistakable style. Designed by Ray Laconico, it reflects his signature approach to clean, functional design while delivering the strength and reliability serious users expect. Whether you’re putting it to work in tactical situations or carrying it daily, the Albatross offers a confident blend of form and function.

The 3.74-inch clip point blade is crafted from premium M390 steel, a top-tier choice known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Treated with a vacuum and cryogenic heat process and hardened to HRC 60–62, it’s built to maintain sharpness through demanding use. The flat grind and plain edge give you versatile cutting performance, from slicing tasks to precise detail work. Finished in a clean silver bead blast, the blade keeps a low-profile look while standing up to real-world wear.

The handle is where this model truly stands apart. Made from contoured titanium, it features a striking flame anodized finish that creates a unique pattern on every piece, paired with micro milling that enhances grip and control. At 4.80 inches long and 0.51 inches thick, it fills the hand comfortably without feeling bulky, offering a secure and natural hold during extended use. The framelock design provides dependable lockup strength, giving you confidence every time the blade is deployed.

A caged ceramic ball bearing system ensures smooth, consistent action, allowing for quick and reliable opening. Titanium hardware runs throughout, including the flame anodized backspacer and pocket clip, along with sandblasted pivot caps and screws for subtle contrast. The tip-up, ambidextrous pocket clip allows for left- or right-hand carry, making it adaptable to your preferred setup.

At 4.84 ounces and 8.54 inches overall, the Albatross balances solid construction with everyday carry practicality. It’s built for those who demand premium materials, smooth operation, and a distinctive finish that sets it apart from the crowd.
