Kubey Nova KU117S Tiffany Blue Linerlock EDC Folding Knife – Blackwash 14C28N Drop Point Folder with G10 Scales & Ceramic Ball Bearings
If you’re hunting for a reliable daily carry folding knife that blends bold standout color, dependable steel performance and silky-smooth opening action, the Kubey Nova KU117S Linerlock is an ideal pick. Fully engineered by the in-house Kubey Knife design team, this ambidextrous utility folder prioritizes everyday practicality and unique styling, protected by a comprehensive lifetime brand warranty for all manufacturing defects.
The cutting tool at its core is a 3.62-inch drop point blade forged from proven 14C28N stainless steel. Each blade undergoes professional vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment to hit a firm HRC 60–62 hardness rating, delivering solid edge retention and natural corrosion resistance for regular urban use. Built with a flat-ground plain edge sharpened at a 15°–20° angle, the blade slices through packaging, cordage and general EDC materials effortlessly. Its uniform blackwash finish masks minor scratches and fingerprints, contrasting sharply against the bright Tiffany blue handle scales for a head-turning two-tone look. Measuring 0.12 inches thick, the blade balances structural durability and lightweight slicing agility.
The handle is built from grippy textured Tiffany blue G10 composite, a rugged material that maintains stable control even with damp hands. Underneath sits a sturdy stainless steel liner lock finished in black PVD, which firmly secures the blade open during heavy cutting without unwanted blade wobble. Caged ceramic ball bearings installed at the pivot eliminate friction, enabling seamless one-handed opening for both left and right-handed users.
All metal hardware including the pocket clip, pivot cap and fastening screws uses stainless steel coated in matching black PVD for consistent dark detailing. The reversible tip-up clip supports left or right pocket carry, letting you adjust the carry orientation to match your habits. Weighing just 4.13 oz (117 g) with an overall length of 8.50 inches, the Kubey Nova KU117S strikes a comfortable balance of cutting size and pocket portability.
Combining trustworthy 14C28N steel, smooth bearing deployment, striking Tiffany blue G10 aesthetics and fully ambidextrous functionality, the Kubey Nova KU117S linerlock folder is a fun, durable daily companion for casual EDC users and knife collectors alike.
