Kershaw Duster Folding Knife - Charcoal Gray
A folding knife featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot-style blade with a length of 74 mm, crafted from premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. Weighing just 57 g, the tool is exceptionally easy to carry on a daily basis. The lightweight construction offers enhanced comfort during prolonged use, enabling precise control of the blade while minimizing hand fatigue.
8Cr13MoV stainless steel, jimping
Forged from premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the knife blade benefits from an ideal carbon content, delivering optimal hardness. A high chromium presence ensures superior corrosion and wear resistance. Jimping along the spine offers a secure thumb rest, providing enhanced control for precision cutting.
Modified Sheepsfoot blade profile, stonewash finish
Equipped with a blade featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot shape, a plain cutting edge, and a length of 74 mm. The blade sports a Stonewash coating, offering exceptional scratch resistance. This finish creates a matte, irregular surface on the steel that efficiently conceals traces of wear from regular use.
textured handle and aluminum backspacer
The grey handle is crafted from fibreglass-reinforced nylon, which delivers a lightweight build paired with outstanding mechanical durability. Thanks to the high resistance of the material to impacts, scratches, and harsh weather, the knife performs reliably for both daily tasks and extensive field use.
A textured finish on the handle scales provides a firm and secure grip during use, while the inclusion of an aluminum backspacer adds additional strength and structural integrity to the knife.
DuraLock lock, KVT system, thumb stud
Opening the knife is effortless with the double-sided thumb stud, enhanced by the KVT ball bearing system for rapid and seamless blade deployment. A dependable DuraLock mechanism locks the blade securely when in use, effectively guarding against accidental closure.
spring clip, lanyard hole
A spring-loaded, reversible deep-carry clip ensures secure and convenient transport of the tool, making it easy to attach to a belt, pocket, or various gear. The handle is equipped with a lanyard hole, allowing for a cord or lanyard to be threaded through to help prevent accidental loss of the knife.

GFN (Glass Filled Nylon) is a nylon reinforced with glass fiber, offering low weight, high durability, and resistance to moisture and many chemicals. The material performs exceptionally well in demanding conditions, maintaining its strength even under intensive use. GFN surfaces may be completely smooth or textured to improve grip, providing better control and overall ergonomics. The robustness of GFN handles has made this material a standard in the production of EDC (Everyday Carry) knives as well as lightweight tactical designs.
