The 83.00 mm blade features a Drop Point profile and a flat grind. The knife opens manually using a flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs.
Sandvik 14C28N and Vacuum-Cryogenic 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 performance during regular use.
Drop Point, flat grind, and Blackwashed
The Drop Point profile provides versatile functionality and good tip control. The flat grind supports efficient cutting, while the blackwashed finish gives the blade a dark, rugged look and minimizes the visibility of minor wear marks.
Black G10, Liner Lock, and Black PVD Hardware
The handle is made of black G10. The design is complemented by black stainless steel spacer rings and Black PVD Hardware, giving the knife a consistent blackout aesthetic.
Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth blade operation, while Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when fully open. The steel 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 is recommended to clean the blade regularly and dry it thoroughly. 14C28N combines corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening, making it ideal for everyday use.
How do you sharpen the Kubey Calyce?
14C28N steel responds well to ceramic and water stones, as well as guided sharpening systems. It’s important to maintain a consistent angle and regularly refresh the cutting edge.
What sharpening angle should be used for the Kubey Calyce?
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 uses a spring-loaded liner component that, when the knife is opened, slides behind the blade and stabilizes the blade in the open position.
How to maintain ceramic ball bearings?
It’s a good idea to regularly clean dust and fine debris from around the pivot. If necessary, you can use a small amount of a cleaner designed for knife mechanisms.
