Product Description
The Kershaw 5500 Collateral is a masterwork of modern industrial design, blending high-tech aesthetics with ingenious engineering. The standout feature of the Collateral is its hidden flipper technology; once the blade is deployed, the flipper tab disappears into the handle, creating a completely smooth, uninterrupted profile that won't snag on materials or interfere with your grip.
The 3.4-inch spear point blade is crafted from high-performance D2 tool steel, renowned for its incredible hardness and long-lasting edge retention. The blade features a striking satin finish with sanded flats, providing a high-contrast, premium look. Deployment is lightning-fast and exceptionally smooth, utilizing bronze phosphor washers paired with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening. The handle is built from heavy-duty stainless steel with a sleek titanium carbo-nitride (TiNi) coating for enhanced corrosion resistance, further accented by a sophisticated carbon fiber front insert. Secured by a rock-solid frame lock and featuring a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, the Collateral is the perfect balance of tactical innovation and everyday practicality.
