Everything is smooth and satisfying about the Kershaw Kindred, from its sleek profile to the opening action. Activate the thumb stud to lock the blade in place with the button lock. Pressing the steel button releases the blade for buttery drop shut action on KVT ball bearings. The spear point blade is highly efficient for deep cuts, using D2 tool steel and a full flat grind. Control the blade comfortably with a contoured aluminum handle, which also carries light in the pocket with a deep-carry pocket clip. The Kindred has everything you need in a cutting tool, your everyday companion.Lightweight everyday carry; spear point bladeSteel manual button lock; blade opens easily and smoothly with KVT ball-bearing system with thumb studD2 high-carbon tool steel is highly wear resistant, tough, offers excellent edge retention; stonewashed finish helps hide use scratchesBlack-anodized aluminum handle provides lightweight strength; custom pivotDeep-carry pocket clip is easily reversible for left/right carry; lanyard holeFeatures DetailsStatus NEWEdition EngravableUse EverydayType Folder, ManualStyle PocketknifeDesigner Kershaw OriginalsBlade Style Spear PointBlade Edge PlainOpening Action Manual KVT ball bearingsOpens With Thumb studLock Type Button lockPocket clip Reversible deep-carry (right/left, tip-up)Handle Color BlackHardware Custom bead-blasted pivot, black-oxide screws, black-oxide pocket clipCountry of Origin USA: Design, Prototype, Quality Control.
