Jelly Jerry is a 22-year-old knife designer from Vietnam, his first designs were created in 2017, at the age of 16. Jerry's designs are meant to be fun, but highly functional and durable. He believes that any design should be ergonomic and give pleasure both aesthetically and in terms of use, it should also be functional as a tool. The main rule - do not sacrifice the functionality of the knife for the sake of the design!

Kubey - one of the largest manufacturers producing knives of excellent quality at a great price! The motto of the company is “An Edge Above the Rest” / “Blade above all”. With the use of high-speed CNC machine tools, milling machines, laser cutting or custom hand finishing, the brand focuses on quality workmanship and innovative approaches to design.

14C28N - a martensitic chromium stainless steel - is the latest development in a range of knife steels produced by Sandvik's Swedish mills. An optimized chemical composition with a unique combination provides superior quality, excellent edge performance, high hardness and corrosion resistance. By reducing the amount of carbon 0.62% (C) and increasing the chromium content 14.0% (Cr), as well as adding nitrogen 0.11% (N), corrosion resistance has been significantly improved. Considered an improved version of 13C26 steel. Unbeatable in the price/quality category!

Vacuum & Cryogenic - 14C28N steel has undergone a specialized heat treatment process involving two key steps. Vacuum Heat Treatment - the steel is quenched in a vacuum environment, which minimizes oxidation and ensures more uniform metal properties. This process increases the strength and structural integrity of the steel. Cryogenic Treatment Once heated, the steel is rapidly cooled to extremely low temperatures, often below -148°F (-100°C). This transformation transforms residual austenite into martensite, significantly increasing hardness, wear resistance and overall durability. Thanks to these advanced processes, 14C28N steel delivers exceptional performance, offering both razor-sharp edge retention and outstanding blade durability.

Blade - wide, Sheepsfoot type, finished to mask minor scratches from use using the Stonewashed method, and then coated with a black coating. The gently curved cutting edge converges towards the tip of the blade. The thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, results in excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings are responsible for the smooth and smooth operation of the mechanism and support the opening of the blade with the index-finger flipper when opened acting as a crossguard. The knife can also be opened with a hole in the Blade (thumb hole). On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. Liner Lock mechanism.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a virtually indestructible plastic, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. Textured for improved grip confidence, screwed to the knife's steel frame. The so-called open-backed design without the typical backspacer, fastened together with steel spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. The simple, sturdy design gives assurance of many years of use. Ergonomic finger recess for easy grip on the Handle. Pivot decorated with stylized manufacturer's logo. Two-position (right/left) steel deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in tip-up position (blade tip up). Above the clip a lanyard hole, a hole for threading a cord.
