Kubey Scimitar Liner Lock Ultem Folding Knife [KUB173H]

A swept blade adapted to folding carry

Kubey's Scimitar uses a swept blade outline to give the folding design a pronounced cutting curve. A shaped handle follows that visual movement, with a pivot-end tab for opening and a separate clip for carry. The model has appeared in different materials and steel generations.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.46" (88 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Ultem
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.97" (126 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.

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.
