Kershaw: A Cut Above the Rest

When you carry a Kershaw, you know you're carrying the real thing. From award-winning technologies and advanced materials to the solid sound of the blade lockup, Kershaw products exude quality and reliability.

Even Kershaw's most affordable models impress. In fact, everything about a Kershaw knife is solid, crafted, and reliable. Kershaw is dedicated to delivering high-quality, high-performance working tools and knives that are affordable for all consumers.

Kershaw's advanced technology and innovative design combine to create knives that users are proud to carry. Whether it's everyday carry, folding pocket knives, hunting knives, or special collectors' editions, Kershaw chooses the appropriate top-notch materials and applies intensive craftsmanship.

OSO: High-Performance Steel and Attractive Finish

Kershaw's OSO line features 8Cr13MoV steel, a budget-friendly, reliable Chinese-produced steel with carbon and slightly less nickel for hardness and edge retention. Kershaw's precision heat-treated 8Cr13MoV steel takes and holds an edge well, offering wear resistance that can withstand both abrasive and adhesive wear.

For a lighter blade that highlights the steel, Kershaw often applies a satin finish. This satin finish leaves faint patterns of lines on the steel, reducing the appearance of stains and scratches.

Alternatively, Kershaw may use a Titanium Carbo-Nitride blade coating, which produces an attractive, sleek black or gray blade coating. This coating increases the blade's hardness and helps maintain a razor-sharp edge, enhancing the overall lifetime of the blade.

Smooth, Secure, and Fast Deployment

Kershaw's revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, and fast one-handed blade deployment. By applying manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud, the torsion bar is overcome, allowing the blade to open smoothly and lock into place.

Kershaw's frame lock design also makes their knives safer, sturdier, and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The lockbar butts up against the blade's backend to prevent closure, and the blade can be closed by pushing the frame to the side.

Additional Features for Convenience and Durability

Kershaw's one-handed blade deployment options, including a flipper, allow for easy use by both left- and right-handed users. The flipper can either disappear for aesthetics or remain visible for added finger protection.

Kershaw knives feature durable stainless steel handles, which provide corrosion resistance and often incorporate etching, patterns, ridges, or lines for a secure grip. The pocketclips are designed to fit specific knives, with options for tip-up or tip-down carry, and some can be removed.

Overall, Kershaw's commitment to quality, performance, and innovative design makes their knives a cut above the rest.
