Kubey Merced Liner Lock Tan Black Folding Knife [KUB345O]

Sherif Manganas's window-opening layout

The Merced gives Sherif Manganas's folding design a pronounced blade window alongside the pivot-end opening tab. Its long working blade and contoured grip create a full-size utility format, with a separate clip for carrying. The operating interfaces distinguish it from the stud-opening Momentum.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 3.46" (88 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; BlackWash finish
• Handle: Tan micarta
• 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.

Micarta combines fabric or other fibers with resin. It gives the handle a layered composite surface whose appearance can develop with handling and use.

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.
