Kubey Akino Lockback Jade G10 Folding Knife [KUB2102B]

A compact working blade and enclosed grip

The Akino combines a short working blade with a compact handle, keeping the covered carrying form relatively small. Its separate clip provides pocket attachment and a lanyard hole offers another connection point. The actual locking mechanism determines how the blade is secured and released.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.03" (77 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; bead blast finish
• Handle: Jade G10
• Mechanism: Lockback
• Pocket size: 3.94" (100 mm) closed

Materials and cutting character

14C28N is a stainless knife steel developed around edge stability, corrosion resistance and straightforward resharpening. It is a practical choice for a knife that sees regular cutting and routine touch-ups.

G10 is a fiberglass-and-resin composite. Its layered construction gives the scales a durable structure, while the actual machining and surface texture determine how the grip feels in hand.

Lockback explained

A locking rocker along the spine holds the blade open. Pressing the exposed release portion disengages it for folding, so the control is reached along the back of the handle.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
• Clip placement: The reversible pocket clip lets you change the carrying side. That affects pocket placement; it does not by itself change the lock-release design.
