The Kubey Flash KU158U is a purple variant of the Flash folding knife featuring a blade made of Sandvik 14C28N steel. It combines a Reverse Tanto profile, a hollow grind, and a satin finish with a G10 handle in a more decorative color scheme, while retaining the same proven mechanics based on a Liner Lock and ceramic Ball bearings.
The 98.00 mm blade has been hardened to 60–62 HRC using the Vacuum & Cryogenic process. Manual opening is achieved via a flipper, and the reversible clip allows you to adjust the carry style for either the right or left side.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum & Cryogenic
Sandvik 14C28N offers good corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, and consistent performance. A hardness of 60–62 HRC combined with the Vacuum & Cryogenic process results in specifications well-suited for an EDC folding knife.
Reverse Tanto, Hollow, and Satin
The Reverse Tanto profile features a distinctly defined tip and a functional edge line. The hollow grind supports efficient cutting, while the satin finish gives the blade a classic and aesthetic appearance.
Purple G10 and Proven Mechanics
The handle is made of purple G10. Steel spacer sleeves with a gray finish, a steel clip, and ceramic ball bearings create a simple, functional design. The Liner Lock ensures blade stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Sandvik 14C28N steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Regular care helps maintain the edge and the satin finish.
How do I sharpen the Kubey Flash KU158U?
14C28N steel is relatively easy to resharpen. It’s best to maintain the factory geometry and use high-quality whetstones or sharpening systems.
How does the Liner Lock work?
When opened, the spring-loaded liner slides behind the blade butt and locks it in the open position. Releasing the liner allows you to close the knife.
How do I clean the purple G10 handle?
It’s best to use a soft brush and mild detergent for cleaning. After washing, the handle and other components should be thoroughly dried.
How do you care for ceramic ball bearings?
It’s a good idea to keep the pivot area clean and protect it from dust. If necessary, you can apply a small amount of a suitable knife mechanism lubricant.
