Kubey Noble Liner Lock Blackout Folding Knife [KUB236O]

A clip-point folder with a full grip

Kubey's in-house Noble combines a defined clip point with a handle long enough to sit behind the working edge. A pivot-end tab provides opening purchase, and the clip carries the blade folded into the grip. Its proportions sit between the smallest pocket tools and longer outdoor folders.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.15" (80 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Black G10
• Mechanism: Linerlock
• Pocket size: 4.41" (112 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 clipped spine produces a more defined point alongside the cutting belly, combining slicing length with access to a narrower tip.

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.
