Kubey Hyde Liner Lock Black Folding Knife [KUB2104A]

A compact folder with a blade opening window

The Hyde places an opening cutout in the blade, providing finger purchase without depending on a large external stud. Its short working format and shaped grip suit a compact carry setup, with a clip and lanyard hole for attachment. Those details distinguish this edition from other similarly sized Kubey folders rather than making them interchangeable.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.95" (75 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless
• Handle: Black G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 3.93" (100 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.
• 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.
