88,97 €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, Beadblasted 14C28N by Alessandra De Santis (KU468A) 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, Beadblasted 14C28N by Alessandra De Santis (KU468A) is a small fixed-blade knife that combines the high durability of a full tang construction with a handy size suitable for everyday carry. Alessandra De Santis’s design is based on a functional Clip Point profile, a black G10 handle, and a Kydex sheath equipped with a Tek-Lok attachment. The TLB II is ideal as an EDC knife, a field tool, and a compact fixed blade for precision cutting, preparing small materials, and camp tasks.
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 helps maintain sharpness, and the flat grind ensures good edge control during cutting. The G10 handle offers a secure grip and resistance to moisture and varying terrain conditions. The knife’s light weight makes it easy to carry daily, while the symmetrical design allows for comfortable use by both right- and left-handed users.
Clip Point blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel
The Clip Point profile provides a slender, precise tip and good control when scoring, performing detailed work, and guiding the blade along a designated line. The flat grind facilitates smooth cutting through cardboard, ropes, plastics, packaging, and materials used in light outdoor work. The Beadblasted finish gives the surface a uniform, matte appearance and reduces light reflections.
Sandvik 14C28N is a stainless steel valued for its good corrosion resistance, edge stability, and easier maintenance compared to many high-alloy powder steels. Vacuum heat treatment and a cryogenic process help achieve uniform material properties. The substantial blade thickness increases its rigidity, and the compact format allows for high control during precise tasks.
G10 Handle and Kydex Sheath with Tek-Lok
The black G10 scales are attached directly to the solid blade tang. The material withstands moisture, temperature changes, and the typical stresses associated with daily carry and field use. The ergonomic shape of the handle and the pronounced finger groove improve control, limiting the possibility of the hand sliding toward the cutting edge.
The black Kydex sheath securely holds the knife during transport and protects the edge from accidental contact with gear. The Tek-Lok attachment allows for convenient attachment of the sheath to a belt or compatible gear. The ambidextrous design allows you to adjust how you carry it to suit your preferences and the configuration of your other gear.
