59,88 €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 Bearcat Black G10, Beadblasted 14C28N by Maksim Epifantsev (KU426A) is a full-size fixed-blade knife with a full-tang construction, designed for EDC and outdoor use.
Kubey Bearcat – a durable fixed-blade knife for field work
Kubey Bearcat Black G10, Beadblasted 14C28N by Maksim Epifantsev (KU426A) combines a solid fixed-blade construction, a practical Drop Point profile, and an ergonomic handle made of G10 composite. Maksim Epifantsev’s design was created for those seeking a durable knife for everyday tasks, camping, camp work, and light survival. The full tang construction extends the steel the entire length of the handle, increasing the knife’s rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, which has undergone vacuum heat treatment and a cryogenic process. A hardness of 60–62 HRC ensures good edge retention while allowing for relatively easy re-sharpening. The black handle made of milled G10 offers a stable grip and high resistance to moisture and changing weather conditions. The included Kydex sheath with a Tek-Lok attachment makes it easy to carry the knife safely on a belt or gear.
The wide blade with a Drop Point profile combines a strong tip with a gently curved cutting edge. This geometry works well for preparing wood, cutting ropes, cardboard, and plastics, as well as for more precise camp tasks. The flat grind improves the blade’s ability to penetrate the material while retaining the right amount of steel behind the edge. The Beadblasted finish gives the surface a uniform, matte appearance and reduces light reflections.
Sandvik 14C28N steel is distinguished by good corrosion resistance, edge stability, and easier maintenance than high-alloy powder steels. The vacuum heat treatment and cryogenic process used by Kubey help achieve uniform material properties. A 15–20° bevel angle supports efficient cutting, and the substantial spine thickness ensures the blade has adequate rigidity during demanding tasks.
G10 handle and Kydex sheath with Tek-Lok
The black G10 scales are bolted directly to the solid blade tang. The material withstands moisture, temperature changes, and typical field conditions well. The handle profile and pronounced finger groove limit hand slippage toward the edge, improving control during heavier cuts. Sandblasted steel screws emphasize the tool’s functional design.
The black sheath made of Kydex securely holds the knife and protects the edge during transport. The included Tek-Lok mount allows the sheath to be attached to a belt or compatible gear. The knife’s symmetrical design makes it easy to use for both right- and left-handed users, allowing the Bearcat to be adapted to various outdoor gear setups.
