Product Description
The Kershaw Gadsden is a refined "Trapper" style pocketknife that expertly marries the soul of a traditional slipjoint with the rugged durability of modern materials. Designed for the user who appreciates classic lines but demands contemporary performance, the Gadsden offers a sleek, non-locking solution for everyday carry. By replacing traditional bone or stag with high-performance black G-10, Kershaw has created a gentleman’s folder that is as tough as it is sophisticated.
This dual-blade workhorse features two distinct 2.75-inch blades: a versatile Clip Point for general utility and a specialized Spey blade for precise, controlled slicing. Both are forged from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel, which is heat-treated with added vanadium for enhanced grain structure and wear resistance. The blades feature a clean machine satin finish that provides a timeless look while resisting corrosion. Built with authentic brass liners and brass rivets, the Gadsden delivers that classic mechanical "snap" that traditional knife fans love, ensuring it remains a staple in your pocket for years to come.
