Kershaw knives have come out of Tualatin, Oregon since 1974, with multiple Blade Show Knife of the Year awards to show for it. The full story of how Pete Kershaw and Ken Onion built the brand is in our Kershaw knives history. The catalog runs from everyday carry folders to USA made autos and MagnaCut premium models, built on a reputation for delivering more knife than the price suggests.
Custom maker Ken Onion's SpeedSafe assisted opening, introduced in 1998, uses a torsion bar to finish opening the blade once a thumb stud or flipper starts it. Our guide to how assisted opening works explains where it sits between a manual folder and an auto. It powers the slim Kershaw Leek and the tactical Kershaw Blur, with the full lineup under Kershaw assisted opening knives and his designs gathered in the Ken Onion collection. The Rick Hinderer designed Cryo brings a framelock to an entry price, the Dividend runs a composite blade, and the Misdirect puts a reverse tanto in the Starter Series.
The Kershaw Launch series covers push-button deployment from the compact Launch 4 to the full size Launch 1 and Launch 21, and the Kershaw Livewire takes that American production out the front. The crossbar style lock behind the Bel Air and Iridium is collected under Kershaw DuraLock knives.
The latest releases reach every part of the catalog. On the USA made side, the Bareknuckle DuraLock and Continental run MagnaCut, the Iridium 3038 adds a MagnaCut button lock, the Bel Air XL and Mini Iridium scale two favorites up and down, and the Launch 24 brings a sheepsfoot auto. Everyday carry picks include the Bonneville, Kindred, Celestion, Beskar, Proximal, Hectic, and Conduit XL. King's Camo dresses the Leek, Blur, and Bel Air, and anglers get the Shoreline Bass, Scour Northern Pike, and Valve Bluegill.
Entry models run 8Cr13MoV or 4Cr14, mid-range knives carry D2 or Sandvik 14C28N, a steel developed at Kershaw's request, and premium releases run CPM 154, M4, or MagnaCut, all compared in our knife steel guide. Kershaw also builds fixed blade knives, the Lucha butterfly knife, and the Kershaw Emerson collaboration, and the new Everyday Sharpener keeps any of them cutting. Personalize your pick with Kershaw engraved knives.
