How to Choose a Kershaw Knife

Start With the Intended Use

For everyday carry, compare closed length, weight, clip position and
how much cutting edge you need. Working knives may benefit from a
larger handle and blade, while compact models are easier to carry.

Compare Opening and Locking Systems

Kershaw offers manual, assisted, automatic, OTF and butterfly
designs, depending on the model. Lock styles also vary. Review the
exact product specifications and confirm the laws that apply in your
state and locality.

Choose the Blade Steel and Handle

The catalog includes practical stainless steels and higher-end
powder steels, along with steel, aluminum, G10, carbon fiber and
other handle materials. The best combination depends on corrosion
exposure, sharpening preference, carry weight and budget.

Popular Kershaw Model Families

The Leek remains a recognizable slim everyday folder, the Iridium
family offers modern crossbar-style operation, and the Launch series
covers multiple automatic designs. Other important families include
the Blur, Link, LiveWire, Bel Air, Lucha, Dividend and Natrix.
