Kubey Velvet Snake Knife Review – Precision Meets Style

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another Jimping with Jacrispy blog review! Today, we're diving into a brand-new offering from Kubey Knives – the Velvet. As always, before we get started, make sure to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into the heart of today’s review!

Unboxing the Kubey Velvet

Let’s kick things off with the packaging. The Kubey Velvet comes in a sleek, matte black box adorned with the Kubey logo in bold, modern font. The design is simple but elegant, with a minimalist feel that lets the quality of the product inside speak for itself. The front of the box features the Kubey logo prominently, while the back provides some essential details about the knife's specifications. Inside, you’ll find the knife safely nestled in place, accompanied by a cleaning cloth and a set of Kubey stickers – a nice little touch for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

First Impressions: Handle and Design

The Kubey Velvet immediately impresses with its striking handle made of blue and grey titanium, complemented by Damtanium Camo carbon fiber inlays. This unique material combination not only provides excellent durability but also delivers a beautiful, textured aesthetic that feels as good as it looks. While the handle doesn’t have a lanyard hole (which some users might miss), the overall design ensures a firm grip and comfortable handling.

The Velvet is available in two different variants, offering a choice for those who prefer a bit of personalization with their knife. Both variants are available on Kubey’s website, making it easy for potential buyers to select the one that best suits their preferences.

Pocket Clip and Locking Mechanism

The Velvet features a pocket clip for easy carry, though it's not reversible, so left-handed users may need to adjust to the design. The real standout here is the bolster lock – a unique locking mechanism that provides secure blade deployment with a solid, confident feel. The bolstered design adds extra stability, ensuring that the blade stays locked in place until you're ready to use it.

Blade Performance

The blade itself is crafted from Bohler M390 steel, a high-performance material known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The drop point blade style adds to its versatility, making it a great option for everyday carry or light tactical tasks. The darkwashed finish gives it a sleek, rugged look, while the flat grind ensures efficient cutting performance. The inclusion of thumb studs allows for quick one-handed deployment, and the subtle jimping on the spine enhances grip, adding a touch of precision for tasks requiring extra control.

Size and Specifications

Now let’s break down the specs of the Kubey Velvet:

• Handle Material: Blue & Grey Titanium with Damtanium Camo Carbon Fiber Inlays
• Blade Steel: Bohler M390
• Blade Style: Drop Point

Final Thoughts

The Kubey Velvet is a beautiful, high-quality knife that combines style with performance. The combination of a titanium handle, Damtanium camo carbon fiber, and Bohler M390 steel blade makes it a worthy contender for anyone looking for a reliable EDC knife. The bolster lock system is a unique touch, and the darkwashed finish on the blade adds a rugged, utilitarian feel that only enhances the knife’s overall appeal.
