Kubey SNUG Liner Lock Black Micarta Folding Knife [KUB408G]

Maksim Epifantsev's spear-point working design

The SNUG places a compact spear-point blade in a relatively long, shaped handle. Maksim Epifantsev's design provides thumb-stud and pivot-end opening purchase, with a clip and lanyard hole for carrying. The proportion between grip and blade is a defining feature.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.03" (77 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; BlackWash finish
• Handle: Black canvas micarta
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.53" (115 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.

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

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.
