Kubey RDF Button Lock Tan Folding Knife [KUB316L]

Alessandra De Santis's compact button-lock folder

The RDF combines a spear-point working profile with a button-operated locking layout. Alessandra De Santis's design keeps the folded format compact while providing a shaped grip behind the blade. The release control is an important distinction from a conventional liner-lock version.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.11" (79 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; black stonewash finish
• Handle: Tan G10
• Mechanism: Button Lock
• Pocket size: 4.21" (107 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.

Button Lock explained

The external button releases the blade lock for closing. The button is a lock control; the opening method remains the one shown for this model, rather than being defined by the word “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.
