Product Description
The Kershaw 1835TBLKST Kuro is a tactical workhorse that blends an aggressive "Americanized" tanto profile with versatile cutting power. Engineered for those who need a reliable, high-speed tool that excels at both piercing and sawing through tough materials, the Kuro is a standout in the Kershaw lineup. Its name, Japanese for "black," perfectly reflects its stealthy, non-reflective aesthetic and mission-ready design.
The 3.1-inch tanto blade is forged from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and features a black-oxide coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. The blade is partially serrated, providing the "bite" necessary to cut through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, or cardboard, while the reinforced tanto tip offers superior piercing strength. Deployment is lightning-fast and completely ambidextrous thanks to the patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism, activated by the integrated flipper tab. The handle scales are crafted from glass-filled nylon (GFN), featuring a unique, high-traction geometric pattern that ensures a "locked-in" grip even in wet or extreme temperature conditions. Secured by a dependable liner lock, the Kuro is a lightweight yet incredibly durable folder designed for heavy-duty daily use.
