Product Description
The Kershaw Covalent (2042) is "all business" and built for the modern user who demands both style and mechanical excellence. This mid-sized folder features a striking ergonomic design characterized by its unique textured handle pockets, providing a signature look that stands out in any EDC rotation. Beyond its aesthetics, the Covalent utilizes Kershaw's ultra-secure DuraLock technology, a crossbar-style system that offers a rock-solid mechanical lockup and effortless, ambidextrous closing without ever putting your fingers in the blade's path.
The 3.2-inch drop point blade is forged from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a favorite for high-performance utility due to its exceptional edge retention and toughness. The blade is finished with a non-reflective BlackWash™ coating, which hides scratches and wear better than a standard satin finish. Deployment is snappy and consistent thanks to the manual KVT ball-bearing system and an intuitive flipper tab. At only 2.84 ounces, the Covalent is a lightweight powerhouse that delivers a full-sized grip and elite cutting performance.
