Instead, the user must overcome the torsion bar’s resistance in order to engage the SpeedSafe system.

We not only think that keeps things interesting, but it also ensures that Kershaw Knives offer our customers both attention-getting looks and the highest level of performance.
IT STARTS WITH THE STEEL Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Most steel also has additional elements alloyed in it to enhance specific characteristics. For example, stainless steels contain chromium to enhance stain resistance. Nickel adds strength and toughness.
KERSHAW BLADE STEELS There’s no such thing as one “best” type of steel for every type of knife. Instead, think in terms of the best steel for a particular application. Kershaw chooses its blade steels based on a variety of criteria, from ability to hold an edge and corrosion resistance to strength, toughness, and value. Then each type of steel is matched to the function of the knife, the design of the blade, and angle to which it will be sharpened—among other knifemaker’s considerations.

KERSHAW HANDLE MATERIALS Just as Kershaw matches the particular steel’s characteristics to the end use and design of the knife, we also match the knife’s handle material to its function and style. Many Kershaw handle scales are made of G-10 (see Glossary), which offers good looks, lightweight, and excellent strength. If we’re trying to reduce a knife’s weight, we might use aluminum handles.
Glossary Ability to take an edge Some steels take a sharper edge than others. Fine-grained steels take an edge more easily than coarse-grained ones. a compound of two or more different molecules, chosen for specific characteristics. The co-polymers Kershaw uses for knife handles generally have a slightly rubbery texture to improve grip security. ABS inlay Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common thermoplastic. It combines strength and rigidity with the toughness of rubber.
Inclusions Non-metallic particles that can either form naturally during the steel-making process or can accidentally get into steel. These inclusions can affect the steel’s quality; the fewer the inclusions, the cleaner and higher quality the steel. Scales The pieces of material that are fitted to the tang of a full-tang knife or to the liners of a folding knife. There are a wide variety of handle materials available from natural, such as wood and bone, to manmade, such as G-10.
