Product Description

The Kershaw Bel Air Aurum Raw 6105RAWGLD is the Gold PVD Bel Air — CPM MagnaCut powder metallurgy stainless in a 3.13-inch reverse tanto blade with Gold PVD coating, raw aluminum handle, and DuraLock frame lock, delivering the same Cryo-treated MagnaCut performance as the Blue PVD 6105RAWBLU in the most visually warm and premium Gold PVD finish — gold blade contrast against raw aluminum handle in a USA-made Kershaw reverse tanto format at $200.

The CPM MagnaCut blade is Larrin Thomas's purpose-designed powder metallurgy knife steel — formulated to simultaneously maximize edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance that production steels historically trade off. In the Bel Air Aurum Raw's 3.13-inch blade, CPM MagnaCut delivers the same steel performance ceiling as the Blue PVD 6105RAWBLU — the same Cryo-treated MagnaCut microstructure with optimized carbide distribution that further refines MagnaCut's already-leading edge retention and toughness beyond the standard MagnaCut heat treatment baseline. The Gold PVD coating is the defining visual specification that distinguishes the Aurum Raw from the Cryo Raw — where Blue PVD creates a cool metallic contrast against the raw aluminum, Gold PVD produces a warm, rich gold blade finish that references precious metal character while delivering the same physical vapor deposition hardness and durability as any PVD coating. PVD Gold is one of the most visually premium blade finishes in the production knife market — a deep, warm gold that catches light differently than satin or black coatings and carries a visual weight that no other blade finish replicates. Against the raw aluminum handle's natural unfinished metal surface, Gold PVD creates a two-tone warm gold over silver carry piece that is the most visually premium configuration in the Bel Air lineup. The Aurum designation — from the Latin word for gold and the periodic symbol Au — signals the Aurum Raw's gold specification as a deliberate premium identity choice, the gold variant to the Cryo Raw's blue in a matched pair of PVD Bel Air configurations at identical price and specification. The reverse tanto blade profile, raw aluminum handle, DuraLock frame lock, and USA-made Oregon production are identical to the 6105RAWBLU — the choice between Aurum Raw and Cryo Raw is purely colorway preference between warm gold and cool blue at the same $200.

• Blade: CPM MagnaCut powder stainless, reverse tanto profile, Gold PVD coating, plain edge — same Cryo-treated MagnaCut microstructure as the 6105RAWBLU; Gold PVD adds surface hardness and warm rich gold blade finish; reverse tanto provides reinforced tip geometry; 3.13-inch blade
• Handle: Raw Aluminum — unfinished natural aluminum surface; Gold PVD blade over raw aluminum creates warm two-tone gold-over-silver carry aesthetic; DuraLock frame lock integrated into aluminum handle; lighter than steel, harder than polymer
• Lock: DuraLock (frame lock) — robust frame lock using handle frame to lock blade open; identical to 6105RAWBLU
• Production: USA Made — manufactured in Tualatin, Oregon; Cryo treatment applied during production

Ideal For

Premium EDC and USA-made knife buyers who want the Bel Air Aurum Raw's warm Gold PVD visual character over the Cryo Raw's Blue PVD — the 6105RAWGLD at $200 delivers identical CPM MagnaCut Cryo-treated performance, reverse tanto geometry, raw aluminum handle, and DuraLock frame lock as the 6105RAWBLU in Gold PVD that creates a warm two-tone gold-over-raw-aluminum carry aesthetic at the same price. Buyers choosing between the Gold PVD 6105RAWGLD and the Blue PVD 6105RAWBLU at the same $200 who want warm gold over cool blue at identical price, specification, and USA-made production — both deliver the same CPM MagnaCut Cryo reverse tanto raw aluminum DuraLock build; the only distinction is Gold PVD's warm precious metal visual character versus Blue PVD's cool metallic contrast. Collectors and paired carry buyers who want both the Aurum Raw and the Cryo Raw as a matched Gold and Blue PVD Bel Air pair — the 6105RAWGLD and 6105RAWBLU together represent the complete PVD Bel Air pair in warm and cool at identical $200 specification.

CPM MagnaCut with Cryo treatment delivering optimized microstructure for maximum edge retention and toughness, Gold PVD coating that adds surface hardness and warm rich gold visual premium to the reverse tanto blade, raw aluminum handle delivering natural machined metal carry character in a warm two-tone gold-over-silver build, DuraLock frame lock security, and USA-made Oregon production — the Kershaw Bel Air Aurum Raw 6105RAWGLD is the Gold PVD MagnaCut USA-made folder at $200.
