Product Description
The Kershaw Brawler (1990ST) is a tactical workhorse built to handle the toughest everyday challenges with ease. Featuring a thick, reinforced tanto blade and an aggressive partially serrated edge, the Brawler is designed for those who need a multi-functional tool that excels at both heavy-duty piercing and sawing through stubborn materials like cordage or plastic. Its blocky, angular design isn't just for looks—it provides a rock-solid grip and a high-torque feel that gives you absolute control in the field or on the job site.
The 3-inch blade is forged from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing excellent edge stability and ease of maintenance. The non-reflective black oxide coating protects the steel from corrosion while maintaining a low-profile, tactical aesthetic. Deployment is instantaneous thanks to the SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism, which fires the blade open via the built-in flipper tab. With a 4-position pocket clip, the Brawler is one of the most adaptable knives in the Kershaw lineup, allowing you to customize your carry to your exact preference.
-
High-Strength Tanto Profile: The tanto tip provides extra steel behind the point, making it ideal for piercing through tough materials without risk of snapping.
-
Aggressive Partial Serrations: Features a toothy section perfect for sawing through rope, webbing, and fibrous materials that plain edges struggle to cut.
-
SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening: Experience lightning-fast, one-handed deployment with a simple pull of the flipper tab, ensuring the blade is ready when you are.
-
4-Position Custom Carry: The versatile pocket clip can be moved for tip-up or tip-down carry, on either the left or right side, for total user personalization.
-
Durable GFN Handle: The glass-filled nylon scales are incredibly impact-resistant and textured for a secure, slip-resistant grip in all environments.
