Kubey Bluff Axis Lock Ultem Folding Knife [KUB248E]

A compact drop point with a window opener

Kubey's Bluff puts a drop-point working blade into a compact folding handle. The blade window offers opening purchase while keeping a stud off the main blade surface. Handle material changes can make the mechanism visually more or less exposed, especially in translucent editions.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.19" (81 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; stonewash finish
• Handle: Ultem
• Mechanism: Axis Lock
• Pocket size: 4.17" (106 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.

The translucent amber grip is made from PEI thermoplastic. Its see-through appearance gives this version a different visual character from opaque composite scales or solid metal handles.

Axis Lock explained

A crossbar near the pivot engages the blade in the open position. Retracting the bar releases it for folding, placing the release control near the top of the handle.

Construction details

• 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.
