Fumbling to safely close a pocket knife with one hand while keeping your fingers out of the blade's path is a constant hassle on the job. The Kubey Minor eliminates this daily annoyance with its smooth, completely ambidextrous crossbar locking mechanism and a snappy dual thumb stud deployment. Designed by Maksim Epifantsev, this highly capable everyday carry folder pairs a high-performance, premium San Mai M2 steel blade with lightweight, weather-resistant Tiffany Blue G10 handle scales. Riding on ultra-durable phosphor bronze washers, it provides an incredibly smooth, fluid opening action and a rock-solid lockup that makes quick work of boxes, rope, or any daily cutting task.
The 3.15-inch clip point blade features elite San Mai M2 laminated steel construction, sandwiching a hard, high-wear M2 high-speed steel core between tough outer stainless steel cladding layers for exceptional edge retention and fracturing resistance. The blade is ground with a high-efficiency hollow grind that maximizes slicing performance and stays razor-sharp through prolonged work schedules, finished with a fine brushed satin polish. The handle chassis is constructed with contoured, textured Tiffany Blue G10 scales that provide a lightweight, non-slip, all-weather grip without creating hot spots during extended use.
Deployment is fast and intuitive via dual thumb studs riding on heavy-duty phosphor bronze washers, delivering steady, smooth, and predictable blade motion built to resist debris. Locking is managed by a symmetrical crossbar lock mechanism, allowing you to easily disengage the blade from either side for safe, one-handed operation without placing fingers in the edge path. Designed for flexible daily carry, the folder includes a reversible tip-up stainless steel pocket clip, measures 4.25 inches closed, and weighs a featherlight 2.72 ounces.
