87,87 €Kubey Sicarii Brown Micarta, Blackwashed 14C28N Knife by Jake Hoback (KU477F)
The Kubey Sicarii KU477F is a darker variation of Jake Hoback’s design, combining brown Micarta with a Sandvik 14C28N steel blade finished in blackwashed. The full tang, black fasteners, and Kydex sheath form a cohesive set with a distinctly utilitarian character.
The 116.00 mm blade features a Skinner profile, a flat grind, and a thickness of 4.30 mm. The dark black-washed finish minimizes the visibility of minor signs of wear, and the strongly pronounced spine increases the effective length of the blade.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic Heat Treatment
The blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N steel, hardened to 60–62 HRC. The use of vacuum hardening combined with cryogenic treatment promotes high hardness, wear resistance, and stable steel properties.
Skinner, flat grind, and Blackwashed
The Skinner profile provides a long, rounded cutting edge, while the flat grind maintains a versatile working geometry. The blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark appearance and effectively masks minor signs of wear.
Brown Micarta, Full Tang, and Black PVD
The brown Micarta grips are mounted on a Full Tang construction. They are secured with steel screws coated in black PVD, which stylistically complement the blade’s dark finish.
The knife comes with a black Kydex sheath and TEK-Lok, which allows for convenient attachment of the set to a belt or other gear.

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. Despite its good corrosion resistance, proper care helps preserve both the steel’s properties and the appearance of the blackwashed finish.
How do you sharpen the Kubey Sicarii?
Ceramic and water stones, as well as guided sharpening systems, work well for sharpening. It’s best to regularly refresh the edge before it becomes significantly dull.
What sharpening angle should be used for the Kubey Sicarii?
The recommended sharpening angle range is 15°–20°. This allows you to adjust the edge geometry to achieve the desired durability and cutting aggressiveness.
What does “Full Tang” mean in the Kubey Sicarii?
Full Tang means that the blade tang extends through the entire handle. This construction increases the knife’s rigidity and works well in durable, functional designs.
How do you care for a Kydex sheath?
The sheath should be regularly cleaned of dust and small particles. Before storing the knife, check that the blade and the inside of the sheath are dry and free of particles that could scratch the surface.
