On the plus side, it has a very nice appearance; on the minus side, the steel the blade is made of.
Large folding knife crafted for everyday carry (EDC). The blade features a modified Sheepfoot shape and is constructed from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, hardened within the 57-59 HRC range. A Stonewash finish enhances the blade’s surface. Aggressive jimping on the spine provides a secure resting spot for the thumb, ensuring control during use.
Deployment is achieved with the flipper, which doubles as a hand guard once the blade is opened, preventing accidental slippage. Blade opening is enhanced by the Speed Safe mechanism, utilizing an internal spring that rapidly deploys the blade when the flipper is pressed. Secure blade lockup is guaranteed by a robust frame lock integrated into the handle structure.
The front side of the ergonomically shaped handle is made from tough G10 glass-epoxy laminate, while the reverse side consists of stainless steel, which also functions as the blade lock. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle facilitates easy attachment of a cord.
A flexible, steel Deep Carry clip ensures discreet and comfortable carry in tip-up orientation when clipped to a belt or pocket edge.

Kershaw is an American knife brand, founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw in Oregon, which from the very beginning has focused on the highest quality and practical solutions for hunters, anglers, and everyday users. In 1977, the company was acquired by the Japanese Kai Group, allowing it to combine American innovation with Japanese craftsmanship. In 1998, Kershaw revolutionized the market by introducing the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, and in the following years won prestigious Blade Show awards for models such as the Tyrade with Composite Blade technology combining two different types of steel. The brand is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers, including Ken Onion, Ernest Emerson, and Rick Hinderer, which has resulted in iconic models such as the Leek and Cryo.
