Kubey Rockhopper Fixed Blade Blue Knife [KUB412C]

Scott Halpern's compact Wharncliffe fixed blade

The Rockhopper combines Scott Halpern's compact full-tang layout with a Wharncliffe working profile. The lowered point and relatively straight edge give it a different cutting geometry from the drop-point Bloom. Its short grip and supplied Kydex sheath form an EDC-sized carrying system.

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 Wharncliffe profile puts a straight working edge under a lowered point. It is especially useful for following a cut line and making controlled utility cuts on a surface.

Micarta combines fabric or other fibers with resin. It gives the handle a layered composite surface whose appearance can develop with handling and use.

Full-tang construction

The blade steel continues through the handle beneath the scales, giving this fixed blade a continuous structural core. There is no folding pivot or lock release; its sheath provides the carrying protection for the edge.
