Karver KBS10 Articulated Stanchion Stainless Steel Block
Retro styling meets modern performance in a cost-effective package.
The Karver KBS10 Articulated Stanchion Block is part of the brand-new KBS stainless steel block range, launched by Karver in early 2025. Designed to fit standard 25mm stanchions, this compact block represents a return to stainless steel construction—an intentional contrast to Karver’s legacy of advanced composites and soft attachments in their KB and KBO ranges.
A Modern Block in a Classic Shell
At first glance, the KBS10’s die-cast stainless steel body suggests a traditional block, but don’t be misled—inside lies genuine Karver engineering, including a high-efficiency stainless steel bearing and the refined mechanical performance typical of their high-end gear.
Karver positions the KBS series within their “All Sailors” range, designed to offer premium features at a more accessible price point. The KBS10 is:
- Smartly engineered
- Versatile and robust
- Excellent value for money
- Manufactured with eco-conscious design principles
Key Features
- Fits standard 25mm stanchions – ideal for fairleads and deck line organisation
- Articulated mount – allows flexible alignment and reduces rope wear
- Stainless steel die-cast body – strong, corrosion-resistant, and visually refined
- Stainless steel bearing – provides smooth, efficient load-handling
- Compact and durable – suited to performance cruisers, club racers, and classic yachts
Why Choose the KBS10?
The KBS10 delivers the aesthetic appeal of traditional hardware with the efficiency and performance Karver is known for. As part of a launch lineup of just five models focused primarily on stanchion applications, this block hints at a wider, evolving range to come—bringing Karver’s innovation full circle with a fresh, retro-inspired approach.
