Product Description
The Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto (2038RBLK) is the tactical, "blackout" evolution of one of Kershaw’s most successful modern folders. Built for maximum stealth and high-performance utility, this variant swaps the traditional drop point for a more aggressive reverse tanto blade. Combining the rock-solid reliability of DuraLock technology with a sleek, all-black aesthetic, the Iridium Reverse Tanto is an ideal choice for users who demand a hard-working tool that excels in both piercing strength and slicing precision.
The 3.4-inch blade is forged from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a material renowned for its exceptional toughness and edge-holding capabilities. The black-oxide coating not only enhances the knife's stealthy profile but also provides an extra layer of protection against the elements. Deployment is fast and fluid via the KVT ball-bearing system and dual thumb studs. For security, the ambidextrous DuraLock crossbar mechanism secures the blade with a solid steel bar, providing total confidence during use and a smooth, "drop-shut" closing experience.
