AUS-10 - Japanese stainless steel, often compared to 440C series steel, and for good reason, as the compositions are similar, but these minor differences make AUS-10 harder (hardened usually around 60 HRC) and dulls more slowly, without losing its rust resistance. Knives made of this steel are relatively cheap and will be a great choice if our budget is not too high and we care about stainless.

Blade - Tanto type, with a wide blade finished masking minor scratches from use using the Stonewashed method and then covered with a black coating. The long cutting edge in relation to the length of the Blade converges towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade and double grain provides high strength while the high hollow grind gives 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 (flipper) when opened acting as a crossguard. On the back of the upper jimping wedge, a notched thumb rest. The whole is locked with the proven and popular liner lock.

Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a material extremely mechanically durable and practically completely resistant to weather conditions and chemicals, textured to improve grip confidence, screwed to the knife' s steel frame. Chamfered edges on the covers eliminate sharp edges for comfort and improve grip confidence. The solid G10 backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. The simple, solid design gives you the assurance of many years of use. A deep finger groove (fore finger groove) improves grip security. The pivot axis is decorated with a stylized Kubey Knife brand logo and a steel cap (pivot cap). A two-position (right/left) deep carry clip allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up position (blade tip up).
