Whether it’s a hardworking pocketknife, a hunting knife, or a special collectors’ edition, Kershaw always chooses appropriate, high-quality materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship.

Every knife features precise machining, reliable locks and ergonomic handles—whether you’re opening daily mail or tackling tougher outdoor chores.

How to Pick the Right Kershaw

  1. Opening Mechanism: SpeedSafe assist for rapid, one-hand use; flipper or thumb-stud models for steady manual deployment.

  2. Blade Style & Steel: Drop-point or tanto shapes suit different cutting tasks; choose 8Cr13MoV for value, 14C28N for corrosion resistance or CPM-S30V/D2 for top-tier edge retention.

  3. Handle Material: Lightweight aluminum with G-10 inlays for grip; stainless steel for a slimmer profile; textured polymers for budget-minded durability.

  4. Carry & Lockup: Decide between liner-lock, frame-lock or DuraLock® solid-lock mechanisms; reversible pocket clips offer tip-up or tip-down carry.

Care & Maintenance Tips

  • Clean & Dry: After use, wipe down with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion.

  • Lubricate Pivots: A drop of light oil every few weeks keeps the SpeedSafe mechanism and pivot action smooth.

  • Sharpen Appropriately: Use a guided system or ceramic rod to maintain the factory bevel; touch up regularly for consistent performance.

  • Check Hardware: Periodically tighten clip and scale screws to ensure lock integrity and optimal blade play.
