The crossbar locking mechanism minimizes wobble and provides a reassuring feel during use, while the black G10 handle offers reliable grip in wet or damp conditions. The 3.5\" blade, crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, maintains a sharp edge and resists staining, making it suitable for a range of daily tasks—from opening packages and trimming rope to light camping chores. Its 4.5\" closed length keeps it comfortably pocketable, and the thumb stud allows quick one-handed access when your other hand is occupied. With practical carry options and sturdy construction, this knife is a solid choice for everyday carry, travel, and outdoor use. Tip: keep the blade dry after use and maintain edge quality with routine sharpening to preserve performance.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kubey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52095565300006,"sku":"KUB172A","price":41.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0859\/9211\/2422\/files\/KUB172A.jpg?v=1771702033","url":"https:\/\/blackcountryoutdoor.com\/products\/kubey-hound-crossbar-lock-black-ku172a","provider":"Black Country Outdoor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
