71,18 €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 TLB II Black G10, Black Stonewashed 14C28N by Alessandra De Santis (KU468B) is a compact full-tang fixed-blade knife designed for EDC, outdoor use, and precision utility work.
Kubey TLB II – a compact fixed-blade knife for EDC and outdoor use
Kubey TLB II Black G10, Black Stonewashed 14C28N by Alessandra De Santis (KU468B) is a small fixed-blade knife that combines a durable full tang construction with a format suitable for everyday carry. Alessandra De Santis’s design is based on a functional Clip Point profile, a black G10 composite handle, and a Kydex sheath equipped with a Tek-Lok attachment. The dark Blackwashed finish emphasizes the knife’s technical character and complements the uniform color scheme of the handle and hardware.
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 the flat grind provides controlled and effective cutting. The G10 handle offers stable hand support and moisture resistance, while the compact design makes the knife easy to use as an everyday EDC, during field work, and for tasks requiring precision.
Clip Point blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel
The Clip Point profile provides a slender, precise tip and good control when scoring, opening packages, and working in confined spaces. The flat grind facilitates smooth cutting through cardboard, ropes, plastics, and small field materials while retaining sufficient steel behind the edge. The Blackwashed finish gives the surface a dark, slightly weathered appearance and helps mask minor marks that appear during use.
Sandvik 14C28N offers a good balance of corrosion resistance, edge stability, and relatively easy sharpening. Vacuum heat treatment and a cryogenic process help achieve uniform material properties, while a hardness of 60–62 HRC ensures good edge retention. The substantial blade thickness increases its rigidity, and the compact length allows for high control during precise work.
G10 Handle and Kydex Sheath with Tek-Lok
The black G10 scales are mounted directly to the solid blade tang. The material is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, and the typical stresses encountered during daily use. The ergonomic shape of the handle and the pronounced finger groove improve control and limit the possibility of the hand sliding toward the cutting edge. Stainless steel screws coated with black PVD complete the model’s uniform design.
The black sheath made of Kydex securely holds the knife and protects the edge during transport. The Tek-Lok attachment allows the sheath to be clipped to a belt or compatible gear. The ambidextrous design makes it easy to adjust the carrying style to the user’s preferences and the configuration of the rest of their gear.
