Kershaw Highball XL Pocket Knife (7020)
The Kershaw Highball XL Pocket Knife (7020) offers a sharp, modern design, building on the original Highball's success with enhanced features. Its 3.3-inch clip point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, known for its exceptional wear resistance, toughness, and ability to maintain a sharp edge. The blade also features a bead-blasted finish for a non-reflective, matte look. The stainless steel handle is bead-blasted to match the blade and is carefully contoured to provide a comfortable and secure grip, even for larger hands, with a profile designed for index finger comfort. Opening is smooth and efficient, thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system and a subtle nail nick, allowing for one or two-handed deployment. Aesthetically, the knife stands out with eye-catching blue anodized accents on the pivot, pivot screw, and over-travel stop. For practical everyday carry, the Highball XL now includes a deep-carry pocket clip that is easily reversible for both right and left-hand, tip-up carry. This combination of reliable materials, ergonomic design, and modern features makes the Highball XL an excellent choice for daily utility.

Grip the Handle: Hold the knife firmly in your dominant hand, ensuring a secure grip on the contoured stainless steel handle.
Open the Blade: Locate the subtle nail nick on the blade. Apply firm, controlled pressure to the nail nick with your thumb or a finger, guiding the blade outward. The KVT ball-bearing system will facilitate a smooth, manual opening motion. Alternatively, with practice, a "middle finger flick" can be used.
Engage the Lock: Once the blade is fully extended, the frame lock will automatically engage, securing the blade in the open position. Visually confirm that the lock bar is fully seated against the blade's tang.
Perform Task: Carefully use the sharp D2 steel blade for your intended cutting, slicing, or piercing tasks. Always cut away from your body and other objects.
Close the Blade: To close, firmly press the frame lock bar (the part of the handle that is pressed against the blade's tang) to disengage the lock.
Fold Blade: While holding the lock bar, carefully fold the blade back into the handle well, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade path.
Secure for Carry: Once the blade is fully closed, you can secure the knife in your pocket using the deep-carry pocket clip.
