Kubey is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality knives at an affordable price! The company's motto is “An Edge Above the Rest”. By using high-speed CNC machine tools, milling machines, laser cutting and custom hand finishing, the brand focuses on quality workmanship and an innovative approach to design.

CPM S90V - Martensitic stainless high-alloy tool steel with a hardness of 56-59 HRC with an addition of 9.0% vanadium (V) and 2.3% carbon (C). The high vanadium content promotes the formation of hard vanadium carbides that ensure strength and exceptional wear resistance, and also increases corrosion resistance. This unique steel is designed for the production of high-quality blades and knife blades. Produced by US Crucible Industries using particle metallurgy / Crucible Particle Metallurgy (CPM). The CPM process produces a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and toughness compared to steels produced by conventional methods.

Blade - Drop Point type, finished with a sandblasted finish to mask fine scratches caused by use. The thickness of the blade ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind and wide blade guarantee excellent cutting properties. Ceramic ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade opening mechanism, which can be opened with a flipper. After opening, the flipper forms a mini guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade. The knife can also be opened using the hole in the handle. On the spine of the blade, there is an upper jimping, a corrugated thumb rest. The whole is locked with a modern Frame Lock with a steel inlay to prevent the lock face from wearing out.

Handle - profiled grips made of titanium 6AL4V. The whole is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of use. The pivot axis is adorned with a titanium cap (Pivot Cap) in a contrasting color. A single position (right) titanium deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up). In the back of the backspacer there is a hidden place to thread a safety or decorative cord.
