Product Description
The Kershaw 1990 Brawler is a tactical-inspired multi-purpose folder designed for high-impact piercing and heavy-duty utility. Featuring a stout, modified tanto profile, the Brawler is the go-to choice for users who need a rescue or work knife capable of punching through tough materials without sacrificing everyday slicing performance.
The 3.0-inch modified tanto blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, finished with a non-reflective black oxide coating for enhanced corrosion resistance. The blade features a top swedge to narrow the profile for superior piercing power, while the straight belly provides a robust edge for bearing down on difficult cuts. Deployment is instantaneous and reliable thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism, which can be activated via the integrated flipper tab or the thumb stud. The handle is constructed from lightweight, high-strength Glass-Filled Nylon (GFN), ergonomically contoured for a secure grip. With a rock-solid liner lock and a versatile four-way reversible pocket clip, the Brawler offers the ultimate in carry customization and tactical reliability.
