The Kubey Vagrant KU291T is a green variant of Maksim Tkachuk’s compact folding knife design, combining a Sandvik 14C28N blade with a G10 handle and contrasting Black PVD hardware. The liner lock, ceramic ball bearings, and a hole in the blade create a simple and functional design for EDC.
The 80.00 mm blade features a Sheepsfoot profile, a flat grind, and a dark blackwashed finish. The knife is opened manually using the hole in the blade, and once fully extended, the blade is secured by the Liner Lock.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Heat Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. Vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties during regular use.
Sheepsfoot, Flat Grind, and Blackwashed
The Sheepsfoot profile provides well-controlled blade geometry useful for everyday precision work. The flat grind ensures smooth cutting through materials, while the blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark, utilitarian look.
Green G10, Liner Lock, and Black PVD
The handle is made of green G10, which contrasts with the black blade and dark hardware. The construction is complemented by steel liners, black stainless steel spacer rings, and a steel clip finished in Black PVD.
Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth pivot operation, and Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when open. The clip can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-up configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Sandvik 14C28N steel?
It’s a good idea to clean the blade regularly and dry it thoroughly. 14C28N combines corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening, making it well-suited for everyday use.
How do I sharpen the Kubey Vagrant?
14C28N steel responds well to ceramic and water stones, as well as guided sharpening systems. It’s best to maintain a consistent angle and regularly refresh the edge rather than letting it become completely dull.
What sharpening angle should be used for the Kubey Vagrant?
The recommended sharpening angle range is 15°–20°. This allows you to adjust the edge geometry to your preferred balance between cutting aggressiveness and blade durability.
How does the Liner Lock work?
The Liner Lock utilizes a spring-loaded liner component that, when the knife is opened, moves behind the blade and stabilizes the blade in the open position.
How do you maintain ceramic ball bearings?
It’s a good idea to regularly clean the area around the pivot of dust and fine debris. If necessary, you can use a small amount of a cleaner designed for knife mechanisms.
