£39.76This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

Kubey - an independent brand and one of the largest manufacturers producing knives of excellent quality at a great price! The company's motto is “An Edge Above the Rest” / “Blade above all”. Through the use of high-speed CNC machine tools, milling machines, laser cutting or custom hand finishing, the brand relies on high quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design. Kubey stands for legendary durability and functionality in knife tools that will last for years!
AUS-10 - Japanese stainless steel, often compared to 440C series steel, and for good reason, as the compositions are similar, but these minor differences make AUS-10 harder (hardened usually to around 60 HRC) and dulls more slowly, without losing its rust resistance. Knives made of this steel are relatively cheap and will be a great choice if our budget is not too high and we care about stainless.
Blade - wide, Sheepsfoot type, finished masking minor scratches from use using the Stonewashed method, and then covered with a black coating. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the tip of the blade. The thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, results in excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth and smooth operation of the mechanism and support the opening of the blade with a quick index-finger flipper when opened acting as a crossguard. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. Liner Lock mechanism.
Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a material extremely mechanically durable and practically completely resistant to weather and chemicals, textured for improved grip security, screwed to the steel frame of the knife. The so-called open-backed design attached by steel spacer sleeves reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. The simple, sturdy design gives you the assurance of many years of use. A fore finger groove improves grip security and creates a mini-guard to prevent your hand from slipping on the blade. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized manufacturer's logo. A two-position (right/left) metal deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up).
