Before we get started, make sure to share this blog with your friends and check out our YouTube page so you never miss an update. Alright, let’s cut to the chase and get into this review!

Unboxing the Kubey Tityus

The Kubey Tityus arrives in a sleek, compact box that exudes simplicity and professionalism. The box is a matte black color with a clean, modern design. On the front, you’ll find the Kubey logo in bold white font, accompanied by the model name “Tityus” in a smaller, stylish typeface. The branding is minimal but striking, giving it a premium feel. Flipping to the back, there’s a brief description of the knife’s specifications, including the blade material and handle details, along with a barcode and the Kubey website URL for more info.

Inside the box, the Tityus is snugly nestled in foam padding to keep it secure during shipping. Alongside the knife, Kubey includes a few nice extras: a microfiber cleaning cloth with the Kubey logo, a small sticker featuring their brand emblem, and a basic instruction card with care tips and warranty information. It’s a thoughtful package that adds value to the unboxing experience.

The Kubey Tityus: Design and Features

The star of the show is, of course, the Kubey Tityus itself. This particular variant, which is available on our website as of this video’s release, sports a vibrant red G10 handle that’s both eye-catching and grippy. Kubey offers a ton of variants for the Tityus, including titanium handles in colors like gray, blue, green, purple, and even a tiger stripe pattern, as well as other G10 options like black, blue, and yellow Ultem. There’s something for everyone, but today we’re focusing on the red G10 version.

Handle and Ergonomics

The red G10 handle measures 4.76 inches long and 0.51 inches thick, providing a comfortable and secure grip. The material is lightweight yet durable, with a textured surface that ensures it won’t slip in your hand, even during heavy use. The handle features a lanyard hole, perfect for adding a custom lanyard for extra flair or utility. The ergonomics are spot-on, with smooth contours that fit naturally in the hand, making it ideal for extended cutting tasks.

The Tityus comes equipped with a reversible, tip-up pocket clip made of stainless steel. This allows for both right- and left-handed carry, making it versatile for all users. The clip is deep-carry, so the knife sits low in your pocket for discreet everyday carry (EDC).

Lock Mechanism

This variant features a liner lock, which is solid and reliable. During testing, the lockup was tight with no blade play, and disengaging it was smooth and intuitive. The action is snappy, thanks to the caged ceramic ball bearings, which give the Tityus a satisfying flick when deploying the blade.

Blade Details

The blade is crafted from 14C28N stainless steel, a high-quality choice known for its excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. With a hardness of HRC60-62 due to vacuum and cryogenic heat treatment, this blade is built to last. The Tityus sports a 3.39-inch drop point blade with a blackwashed finish, giving it a rugged, tactical aesthetic that resists scratches and wear. The flat grind ensures precise slicing, making it versatile for tasks from opening packages to prepping food in the field.

For deployment, the Tityus offers both a jimped flipper tab and a thumb hole, providing multiple options for quick and safe opening. The blade is perfectly centered, and the action is buttery smooth right out of the box. There’s also subtle jimping along the spine, adding extra control during detailed work.

Performance and Impressions

The blackwashed blade arrived razor-sharp and handled everything I threw at it with ease. The flipper and thumb hole make deployment effortless, and the ceramic bearings ensure a smooth, drop-shut action after a bit of break-in.

Compared to other variants, the G10 version is lighter than the titanium models, making it a great choice for those prioritizing portability.
