KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Effective Tanto Blade: The 3.125-inch American Tanto blade is specifically shaped for strong piercing cuts and maintains a robust tip, making it suitable for a variety of tasks where precision and strength are needed.
Corrosion Resistance: Crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the blade offers good resistance to corrosion, ensuring its longevity even with regular exposure to different environments.
Stealthy BlackWash Finish: The Black-oxide BlackWash™ coating on the blade not only gives it a non-reflective, practical appearance but also effectively conceals minor scratches and wear that accumulate from use.
Secure Grip Handle: The handle, made from glass-filled nylon with a "G10-textured" surface, provides a very secure and comfortable grip, reducing the chance of slippage during use. A BlackWash steel inlay enhances its visual appeal and contributes to the handle's strength.
Fast Assisted Opening: Featuring Kershaw's SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism, the blade deploys quickly and smoothly with just a push on the flipper, allowing for rapid one-handed access.
Reliable Blade Lock: A robust liner lock mechanism firmly secures the blade in the open position, providing safety and stability during use and preventing accidental closure.
Versatile Carry Options: The deep-carry pocket clip allows for discreet and secure carrying, keeping the knife low in the pocket. It is also reversible for both right-hand and left-hand, tip-up carry.
Compact Yet Capable Size: Substantial enough for various cutting tasks but remains compact enough for comfortable daily carry without being cumbersome.
