About presented Chibs

Sandvik 14C blade steel

Chibs has a clip point blade with a flat grind and a swedge. The finish is a satin on the grind and a dark stonewash on the rest of the blade. The blade is made of Swedish Sandvik 14C stainless steel. It is a steel created specifically for knife blades, characterized by high corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening and relatively high hardness.

Flipper and liner lock

Opening the knife is done due to the flipper protruding from the blade, which after unfolding the blade serves as a guard against the hand slipping on the cutting edge and potential injuries. Optionally, we open the knife using a hole located in the blade. Unfolding the knife is very free and smooth thanks to the fact that it is equipped with ball bearings. The knife has a stable and durable lock that automatically adjusts when it is opened to protect against uncontrolled closing during use (liner lock). On the back of the blade there is a jimping that acts as a thumb support for cuts that require pressure.

Durable G10 handle

Handle scales made of durable, textured G10 composite with non-slip and rough structure provide a stable grip. The scales material is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents and acids and, most importantly, is characterized by high resistance to mechanical damage. The ergonomically shaped handle adapts very well to the hand and provides a stable and strong grip. The scales have been reinforced with a steel backspacer in black, in which a large hole for the paracord was made.

Steel pocket clip

The steel clip ensures stable carrying of the knife in the pocket, fastening in the backpack, pannier, kidney, etc., which contributes to minimizing the risk of losing the tool. The clip is designed in the deep carry style, which allows you to discreetly carry the knife in your pocket. It can be transferred to the other side for left-hand carry in the tip up position. In the package with the knife, the manufacturer attached a second smooth clip without the model name and a tool for its replacement with a screw.
