Kershaw series

Kershaw Iridium

The Kershaw Iridium is an EDC pocket knife with a sleek design. The knife was designed and is produced in the United States. The blade is easily opened with the thumb stud or with the DuraLock locking mechanism. Because this lock is in the back of the handle, you unlock the blade without your fingers coming near the sharp edge.

The Kershaw Iridium is available in several versions and is available with either a drop-point or a reverse tanto blade.

Kershaw Leek

The Kershaw Leek was designed by Ken Onion, and no, that's not a joke. The name fits, as it's a sleek pocket knife that will easily fit in your pocket. What's unique about the Leek is the spring-assisted opening. This allows you to open the knife at lightning speed. The Leek features two locking mechanisms; it won't open unexpectedly.

Kershaw Blur

If you're looking for an industrial-looking black knife, the Blur is the knife for you. The wavy blade is easy to open one-handed with the assisted opening and the thumb stud. The thumb stud is located on either side of the blade, making it suitable for left-handed use and right-handed use.

The blades have a black DLC (Diamond Like Coating) for a tough, modern look.

Kershaw Shuffle

The Kershaw Shuffle is a compact pocket knife. As such, the Shuffle is perfect for EDC use, like opening packages. Moreover, it's a very practical knife that comes with 2 bits; a Phillips screwdriver and a flat screwdriver are conveniently incorporated into the handle. For those who are thirsty at the end of the day, you will find a bottle opener at the end of the handle.
