Kubey Scimitar Liner Lock Tanto OD Folding Knife [KUB175A]

The Scimitar tanto folding configuration

This Scimitar edition replaces the swept trailing-point profile with an angular tanto blade. Its forward cutting segment and tip geometry distinguish it from the KU173 series. A pivot-end tab provides opening purchase, while the long handle gives the hand room behind the working blade.

The liner-lock format covers the edge inside the grip for carrying.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.46" (88 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; bead blast finish
• Handle: OD green G10
• 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.

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.
