52,17 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

Kubey - one of the largest manufacturers producing knives of excellent quality at a great price! The company's motto is “An Edge Above the Rest” / “Advantage over the rest”. With the use of high-speed CNC machine tools, milling machines, laser cutting or custom hand finishing, the brand focuses on quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design.
AUS-10 produced at Takefu Special Steel Corporation' s steel mills based in Fukui, Japan, a vanadium-rich 0.3% (V), molybdenum-rich 1.20% (Mo) and cobalt-rich 1.5% (Co) high-carbon stainless steel. The balanced combination of high carbon content of 1.05% (C) and chromium content of 15.50% (Cr) makes for a stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness (hardened to around 60 HRC) and the ability to hold an edge for a long time. As a result, the knife can be easily sharpened, providing a razor-sharp blade.
Blade- sheepfoot type, finished with a Beadblasted finish that mask minor scratches created during use. The long cutting edge converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind guarantees excellent cutting properties. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a quick index-finger flipper. When opened, the flipper forms a mini-Guard to prevent the hand from slipping on the blade. We can also open the knife with the help of a hole milled into the blade. To improve control of the blade, the back of the wedge is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest. The whole thing is locked with the proven Liner-Lock lock.
Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a virtually indestructible plastic, insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage, textured to improve grip confidence, are screwed to the knife' s steel frame. The massive backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. A deep finger undercut (fore finger groove) improves grip confidence. Simple, solid construction gives you the assurance of many years of use. Deep finger undercut (fore finger groove) improves grip security. The pivot axis is decorated with a screw with a stylized manufacturer's logo. A single-position (right-side) titanium deep-carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up). Above the clip lanyard hole, a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
