14C28N Blade Introduction

14C28N is a high-value budget-to-midrange stainless steel that excels in corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, making it a low-maintenance workhorse for EDC and wet environments, but it falls short of premium steels in edge retention and requires more frequent touch-ups when cutting highly abrasive materials like cardboard.

Designed by acclaimed maker Nalu Boersma, the Tenable Entity B1036H4 is a working flipper that gets the details right: a wide-profile 3.52-inch 14C28N drop point in gray TiCn, a flat grind that actually slices, a bearing-driven rear flipper that snaps open every time, and an upgraded Top Liner Lock that secures the blade from the top of the frame for a clean grip free of lock interference. The camouflage G10 scales keep the weight at just 4.45oz — light enough for all-day office carry, tough enough for the trail. If you want a no-nonsense modern folding knives under $70, this is one of the strongest values in the Tenable Knives range.

FAQ — Tenable Entity B1036H4

Q1. What is a Top Liner Lock?
A: An upgraded liner lock where the lock bar engages near the top of the frame, keeping your fingers clear of the lock during use for safer, cleaner grip.

Q2. How does 14C28N compare to D2?
A: 14C28N trades a bit of edge retention for vastly better corrosion resistance and much easier sharpening — the better pick for wet environments and low-maintenance carry.

Q3. Is the flipper action smooth?
A: Yes — the pivot runs on bearings, giving a fast, flick-open deployment with the rear flipper tab.

Q4. What does the TiCn coating do?
A: Titanium carbonitride plating adds surface hardness, reduces friction and improves corrosion resistance on the blade flats.

Q5. How does B1036H4 differ from B1036H3?
A: Same Entity platform — H4 runs a gray TiCn blade with camouflage G10; H3 runs a blackwash blade with black G10.

Key Terminology

14C28N
Sandvik's nitrogen-enhanced martensitic stainless steel — excellent corrosion resistance, fine edge geometry and easy maintenance.

Drop Point
A blade profile with a convex spine curving to the tip — the most versatile, strongest-tip shape for general EDC.

Top Liner Lock
A liner lock variant whose bar engages near the top of the frame, isolating the lock from your grip force.

TiCn Coating
Titanium carbonitride plating — hard, low-friction and corrosion-resistant ceramic-metal surface treatment.

G10
High-pressure fiberglass laminate handle material — waterproof, grippy and nearly indestructible.

Flat Grind
A straight taper from spine to cutting edge — efficient slicing geometry.

Who Should Buy / Who Should Skip

Who Should Buy:

• Daily carriers who want a light, sharp, corrosion-proof folder under $70
• 14C28N fans and anyone tired of oiling semi-stainless blades
• Camo-gear enthusiasts matching knife to kit
• First-time quality-knife buyers — forgiving steel, proven lock, fair price
• Nalu Boersma design collectors

Who Should Skip:

• Heavy users who want maximum edge retention — look at D2, S35VN or 20CV instead
• Anyone who dislikes camo patterns (the B1036H3 black version is the alternative)
• Collectors wanting pattern-welded or premium steel at this price point
• Users who prefer front-flipper or thumb-stud deployment

Care & Maintenance

1. 14C28N is near maintenance-free — wipe the blade occasionally and you are done.
2. Touch up on a 1000-grit stone; the steel sharpens back to factory-sharp quickly.
3. Keep the bearing pivot clean; a drop of light oil every few months keeps the flipper snappy.
4. Blow lint out of the top liner lock channel periodically for crisp lockup.
5. G10 scales handle soap and water; use a stiff brush to refresh grip texture.
6. Check clip screws monthly — pocket friction loosens them.
7. TiCn chips at the edge are cosmetic; the steel underneath sharpens normally.
8. Do not pry or twist with the tip; drop points have strong tips but are not pry bars.
9. Store anywhere dry — no oiling routine required for this steel.
