Kubey Flash Liner Lock Blue Folding Knife [KUB158T]

An angular working blade in a longer folder

The Flash uses a reverse-tanto-style outline, carrying the spine forward before it slopes toward the tip. Kubey's team pairs that geometry with a long grip and pivot-end opening tab. The clip and lanyard hole provide separate carrying points.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.85" (98 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; satin finish
• Handle: Tiffany blue G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.65" (118 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 reverse-tanto profile angles the spine down toward the point while retaining a useful cutting edge beneath it. The result is a distinct tip geometry for controlled utility work.

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.
