Product Description
The Kershaw Broadside (2052) is a robust, overbuilt folder designed to handle the heavy-duty demands of the job site and home projects alike. True to its name, the Broadside features a beefy profile and a thick blade geometry that makes it a reliable powerhouse for trade professionals. Combining high-performance D2 steel with Kershaw’s ultra-secure DuraLock technology, this knife is built for those who need a workhorse that won't back down from a challenge.
The 3.5-inch spear point blade is forged from D2 high-carbon tool steel, offering incredible wear resistance and a tough edge that stays sharp through extended use. The blade features a flat grind and a rugged stonewashed finish that masks scratches and scuffs from heavy labor. Deployment is fast and fluid thanks to KVT ball-bearing pivots and dual thumb studs. Once open, the ambidextrous DuraLock crossbar secures the blade with a solid steel bar, providing total confidence during high-force cutting tasks.
