Product Description
The Kershaw Iridium Partially Serrated (2038ST) is a sophisticated modernization of the tactical everyday carry folder. Combining sleek, architectural lines with high-performance utility, this variant of the award-winning Iridium features a versatile partially serrated edge, making it the ideal choice for users who need to power through fibrous materials like rope or webbing while maintaining a razor-sharp plain edge for precision slicing. With its refined gray-anodized chassis and striking bronze accents, the Iridium offers an "executive tactical" aesthetic that performs as good as it looks.
The 3.4-inch spear point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a material celebrated for its aggressive cutting power and exceptional wear resistance. The blade glides open on a KVT ball-bearing pivot via dual thumb studs, providing a fluid, manual deployment. For security, the Iridium utilizes Kershaw’s DuraLock technology, a steel crossbar lock that ensures the blade is rock-solid when open and allows for a safe, one-handed "drop-shut" closure. The lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum handle is contoured for comfort, ensuring this 3.3-ounce knife is a pleasure to carry and use.
