Kubey Rockhopper Fixed Blade Black Knife [KUB412B]

Scott Halpern's compact Wharncliffe fixed blade

The Rockhopper combines Scott Halpern's compact full-tang layout with a Wharncliffe working profile. The lowered point and relatively straight edge give it a different cutting geometry from the drop-point Bloom. Its short grip and supplied Kydex sheath form an EDC-sized carrying system.

Blade, handle and carrying size

• Blade: 2.64" (67 mm) 14C28N Sandvik stainless; BlackWash finish
• Handle: Black G10
• Overall size: 5.71" (145 mm)
• Included sheath: Black Kydex belt sheath

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.

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.

Full-tang construction

The blade steel continues through the handle beneath the scales, giving this fixed blade a continuous structural core. There is no folding pivot or lock release; its sheath provides the carrying protection for the edge.
