The Gecko-RCB is the same knife as the YCB — ceramic carbon fiber handle, black stonewash M390 blade, all-black execution — in a second run with two units available instead of one. Same material logic, same performance ceiling, same collector-grade build. If the YCB is gone, the RCB is where you look next.
Black stonewash M390 against ceramic carbon fiber is the most intentionally covert combination in the Gecko ceramic lineup. No pearl, no satin, no warm tones — just two dark, technically precise materials that reward close inspection rather than demanding attention from across the room. The ceramic surface layer on the carbon fiber adds hardness and depth that standard carbon fiber can't match. The black stonewash on M390 adds corrosion protection and eliminates reflectivity entirely.
M390 at 60±2 HRC delivers edge retention that significantly outpaces mid-range steels. It holds a working edge through extended daily use, resists corrosion in carry conditions, and sharpens cleanly when the time comes. The 3.4'' drop point at 1.3'' width is the proven Gecko geometry — full-size, balanced, practical.
Liner lock, ceramic ball bearing pivot, 3.95 oz. Two units. No restock date.
