Kubey Scimitar KU173G Ultem Linerlock Folding Knife – Unique Trailing Point 14C28N Beadblast Blade with Transparent Ultem Handle for EDC & Outdoor
If you’re searching for a one-of-a-kind EDC and outdoor folding knife that combines an eye-catching curved blade shape, lightweight high-performance Ultem handle and reliable everyday cutting steel, the Kubey Scimitar KU173G stands apart from standard pocket folders. Fully engineered by the Kubey Knife Team, this ambidextrous linerlock knife delivers unique styling paired with solid functionality, all covered by a comprehensive lifetime brand warranty.
Its standout feature is the 3.46-inch trailing point blade shaped like a classic scimitar, forged from practical 14C28N stainless steel. The blade undergoes professional vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment to reach HRC 59–61 hardness, balancing decent edge retention and natural rust resistance for frequent urban and wilderness use. Equipped with a flat-ground plain edge sharpened at 15°–20°, the beadblast blade finish resists glare and minor abrasions, while the 0.14-inch blade thickness offers ample rigidity for heavy cutting tasks. The sweeping trailing point profile excels at slicing, skinning and general utility work.
The translucent golden Ultem handle brings a rare premium aesthetic to this folder. Ultem material boasts lightweight construction, extreme heat resistance and structural durability, with cutout hollow sections milled into the scales to cut down unnecessary weight. Underneath lies a sandblasted stainless steel liner lock that securely holds the blade open during use, while caged ceramic ball bearings at the pivot deliver silky-smooth ambidextrous one-handed opening for left and right-handed users alike.
Nearly all metal components feature uniform sandblast finishing for a cohesive muted silver look, including the stainless steel backspacer, pocket clip, pivot cap, liner and filler tab. Lightweight titanium screws complete the hardware setup to avoid extra heft. The reversible tip-up clip supports left or right pocket carry for flexible daily transport. At only 4.17 oz (118 g) with an overall length of 8.43 inches, the Scimitar KU173G balances generous blade reach and pocket-friendly portability.
Blending a signature scimitar trailing point blade, translucent Ultem handle, smooth ceramic bearing action and dependable liner lock design, the Kubey Scimitar KU173G is a memorable versatile folder for both casual EDC lovers and dedicated outdoor knife collectors.
