Product Description
The Kershaw Iridium (2038) is a standout entry in the modern EDC market, perfectly balancing "executive-class" aesthetics with tactical reliability. As a flagship for Kershaw's DuraLock technology, the Iridium provides the ultra-secure mechanical lockup of a crossbar lock with the smooth-as-glass deployment of KVT ball-bearing washers. Whether you are looking for a sophisticated office carry or a robust daily workhorse, the Iridium’s clean lines and premium materials make it a top-tier choice for any knife enthusiast.
The 3.4-inch spear point blade is forged from D2 tool steel, a high-carbon steel celebrated for its exceptional toughness and edge-holding capabilities. The blade features an attractive two-tone finish—a stonewashed primary grind to hide wear and a satin finish on the flats. The handle is precision-machined from gray anodized aluminum, offering a lightweight but rigid frame. Elevated details like the bronze-anodized backspacer and matching lanyard hole add a custom-level pop of color to the monochromatic gray frame. 100% ambidextrous and incredibly "fidget-friendly," the Iridium is built to handle work and look good doing it.
