Kubey Vagrant Liner Lock Jade Folding Knife [KUB291M]

Maksym Tkachuk's compact sheepsfoot layout

The Vagrant combines a compact sheepsfoot blade with an opening window and a shaped grip. Kubey attributes the design to Maksym Tkachuk. Its working edge provides a practical utility profile, while translucent and solid-handle editions offer materially different constructions.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.15" (80 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless
• Handle: Jade G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.13" (105 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.

Linerlock explained

A spring section inside the handle moves behind the blade when it opens. Moving that liner aside releases the blade for folding, so the release is accessed inside the handle rather than through a separate external button.

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.
