Kubey Sylow Frame Lock Dark SW Folding Knife [KUB260C]

James Lowe's Wharncliffe working profile

James Lowe's Sylow combines a Wharncliffe blade with a textured handle and several opening interfaces. The relatively straight working edge is useful for controlled utility cuts, while the lowered point gives the blade its distinctive outline. Its handle surface is a physical detail of the selected edition.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.46" (88 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; stonewash finish
• Handle: Dark stonewash finish titanium
• Mechanism: Framelock
• Pocket size: 4.45" (113 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 Wharncliffe profile puts a straight working edge under a lowered point. It is especially useful for following a cut line and making controlled utility cuts on a surface.

Titanium gives the handle a corrosion-resistant metal structure. The color and surface treatment describe its finish; they do not change the underlying handle metal.

Framelock explained

Part of the metal handle itself forms the locking bar. It moves behind the open blade and is pushed aside to release it, giving the mechanism a direct, exposed interface along the handle.

Construction details

• Bearing pivot: Ceramic bearings support blade rotation around the pivot, adding a rolling interface to the opening action.
