An extremely successful design! For me, this knife is close to ideal in every respect. The only (minor) changes that would be nice to see are premium steel, a bit more resistance when opening the blade, and holes to reduce the weight of the steel liners. Despite this, for me this knife is a great EDC - it disappears in the pocket thanks to the deep carry clip, but it's heavy enough that you can feel it ;)
Kershaw Broadside Folding Knife
Built for demanding tasks, this folding knife excels during both professional operations and daily routines. Engineered with robust D2 tool steel and featuring a dependable DuraLock locking system, it offers outstanding safety and longevity. The handle is crafted from G10 laminate with an aggressive texture for enhanced grip, while the KVT ball bearing system and thumb stud allow for swift, smooth blade deployment.
Blade made of D2 tool steel, smooth opening thanks to KVT ball bearing system
Featuring a Drop Point blade, this knife delivers both durability and adaptability in demanding situations. Crafted from D2 tool steel and hardened to 59-60 HRC, the blade offers superior wear resistance and retains sharpness for extended use. Thanks to the flat grind (saber grind), cutting performance remains excellent, while a stonewashed finish minimizes visible signs of wear and shields the blade from light abrasions. A thumb stud enables easy blade deployment, and the KVT ball bearing system guarantees smooth, precise action throughout operation.
G10 laminate handle, clip on both sides
The handle features G10 laminate in a tan finish, offering high resistance to both moisture and mechanical wear. Its textured surface enhances grip, ensuring reliable control even during intensive use. Measuring 13.2 mm thick, the handle and its ergonomic profile provide a secure and comfortable fit in the hand. The Broadside model incorporates an adjustable deep carry clip, allowing for discreet pocket carry on either the right or left side with the tip-up orientation. A lanyard hole at the end of the handle offers additional safety or customization options, such as attaching a keychain.
DuraLock
Equipped with a DuraLock locking mechanism utilizing a steel cross tang, the knife offers enhanced operational safety and ensures the blade remains stable when open. The design is optimized for easy one-handed closure, while robust construction safeguards against unintentional disengagement of the lock.
