Product Description

The Kershaw Bel Air is the patriotic premium USA-made Kershaw folder — CPM MagnaCut powder metallurgy stainless in a 3.00-inch plain edge blade, American Flag aluminum handle with DuraLock frame lock, delivering Larrin Thomas's purpose-designed PM steel that simultaneously leads in edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a USA-made Kershaw platform with a visually distinctive American Flag handle that carries the flag's identity in every daily carry context at $150.

The CPM MagnaCut blade is Larrin Thomas's purpose-designed powder metallurgy knife steel — the steel formulated to simultaneously maximize edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, the three properties that production steels historically trade off against each other. In the Kershaw Bel Air's 3.00-inch blade format, CPM MagnaCut delivers a steel specification that outperforms conventional stainless steels like VG-10 and most PM stainless alternatives simultaneously across all three performance categories — a steel that holds a working edge longer, is tougher under hard use, and achieves outstanding corrosion resistance that suits the Bel Air for any carry environment including coastal and high-humidity contexts. CPM MagnaCut sharpens on conventional diamond stones and quality ceramic abrasives, maintaining the steel's PM microstructure advantage across resharpening sessions and keeping the Bel Air's edge performance at a consistently high level between maintenance intervals. The American Flag aluminum handle is the defining visual and tactile specification of the Bel Air — a machined aluminum handle with American Flag graphic treatment that makes the Bel Air the most visually patriotic production folder in the Knifeworks lineup, combining the precision and durability of aluminum handle construction with a carry piece that expresses American identity in every daily carry moment. Aluminum handle construction delivers metal carry presence lighter than steel, harder and more durable than polymer, and produces a tactile carry character that FRN and G-10 cannot match. The DuraLock is Kershaw's frame lock implementation — a robust locking mechanism that uses a portion of the handle frame to lock the blade open, providing strong, reliable blade security suited to the Bel Air's premium specification. USA-made production in Tualatin, Oregon confirms the Bel Air as a domestically manufactured premium carry piece — the full specification of CPM MagnaCut blade, aluminum handle, and USA production at $150.
