Kubey Prism Knife Grey Titanium, Beadblasted 14C28N by Yuze Zhong (KB243A)

Prism Grey Titanium, Beadblasted is a discreet folder for everyday use. Designed by Yuze Zhong, it combines a minimalist aesthetic with the highest quality workmanship. The slim profile blade is made of Swedish Sandvik 14C28N steel, vacuum hardened and cryogenically stabilized. This gives the blade exceptional resistance to abrasion and long-lasting cutting edge retention. The handle is made of titanium with a matte, sandblasted finish, ensuring a secure grip in any situation. Its ergonomic shape fits harmoniously in the hand, allowing full control over the blade. The button lock mechanism works smoothly, guaranteeing fast and reliable locking of the blade. Prism is a balanced combination of aesthetics and functionality - a reliable tool that impresses with both precision of workmanship and subtle elegance.

Kubey is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality knives at a great 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.

14C28N - martensitic stainless chromium steel is the latest development in the range of knife steels produced by the Swedish steelworks Sandvik. The optimized chemical composition with a unique combination ensures the highest quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the carbon content to 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content to 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen to 0.11% (N), the corrosion resistance has been significantly increased. Considered an improved version of 13C26. Unbeatable in terms of price/quality!

Vacuum & Cryogenic - 14C28N steel undergoes a specialized heat treatment process involving two key stages. Vacuum Heat Treatment - the steel is hardened in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment After heating, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -100°C (-148°F). This transformation changes the residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing the hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, 14C28N steel provides exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and extraordinary blade durability.

Blade - slim, Tanto Point, finished with a bead-blasted surface to mask minor scratches caused during use. The thickness of the blade in combination with the high, flat grind results in a perfect cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth and quiet operation and support the opening of the blade with a disk on the back of the blade. The locking mechanism is an intuitive and secure button lock.

Handle - grips made of titanium 6AL4V, a material with extremely high mechanical strength and virtually complete resistance to weather conditions and chemicals. The whole is screwed to a solid backspacer, also made of titanium 6AL4V. The simple, solid construction ensures many years of use. The forefinger groove improves grip and creates a mini guard to prevent the hand from slipping onto the blade. The two-position (right/left) titanium deep carry clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket in a tip-up position (with the tip of the blade up).
