Kubey knife Sailor KU317H Linerlock Folding Knife – Black G10 Handle 3.11” Stonewash 14C28N Sheepfoot EDC Pocket Knife with Caged Ceramic Ball Bearings
If you are searching for a practical, no-nonsense EDC folder built for daily utility and marine-friendly performance, the Kubey Sailor KU317H stands out as a well-rounded workhorse. Designed by SekiraSochi and manufactured in China, this ambidextrous linerlock knife is backed by Kubey’s lifetime warranty, perfectly suited for everyday tasks, camping trips and coastal outdoor activities where rust resistance matters most.
The knife’s core performance relies on its 3.11-inch sheepfoot blade forged from marine-grade 14C28N stainless steel. Undergoing strict vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment, the blade achieves a consistent HRC hardness of 60–62, delivering long-lasting edge retention and exceptional corrosion resistance ideal for humid or coastal environments. The textured stonewash finish hides minor scratches and wear from daily use, while its flat-ground plain edge sharpened at a 15°–20° angle delivers smooth, safe slicing without a sharp piercing tip. At 4.0 mm thick, the blade offers sturdy rigidity, and the full knife weighs 142 grams for balanced handling during extended cutting sessions.
The solid black G10 handle defines the Sailor’s utilitarian aesthetic. Measuring 4.13 inches long and 1.5 cm thick, the textured G10 scales provide reliable non-slip grip for both left and right-handed users, with a matching black G10 backspacer creating a unified sleek look. Caged ceramic ball bearings sit at the pivot, enabling silky, consistent one-handed opening every time, supported by a robust stainless steel liner lock that eliminates blade wobble during heavy-duty use.
All metal hardware, including pivot cap, pocket clip, liners and fasteners, features a durable sandblast stainless steel finish. The reversible tip-up clip supports left or right pocket carry, letting users customize their daily carry setup easily. When fully opened, the knife reaches an overall length of 7.24 inches, striking a perfect balance between usable cutting length and pocket-friendly portability.
Combining rust-resistant 14C28N steel, functional sheepfoot geometry, tough black G10 construction and smooth bearing action, the Kubey Sailor KU317H is a dependable everyday carry companion for casual users, outdoor lovers and marine enthusiasts alike.
