Product Description
The Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto (2038R) is the ultimate evolution of the award-winning Iridium platform, merging industrial elegance with high-performance tactical utility. While the original Iridium redefined the modern EDC, this Reverse Tanto edition steps up the game with a reinforced tip designed for superior piercing power and consistent slicing leverage. Finished in a sleek blackout aesthetic with contrasting clear-anodized accents, the 2038R is a sophisticated, reliable tool for the modern professional.
The 3.4-inch blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a favorite for those who demand long-lasting edge retention and rugged toughness. The reverse tanto profile provides a robust spine and a surgical tip, perfect for demanding daily tasks. Deployment is buttery smooth thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system and dual thumb studs. For security, the Iridium utilizes the ultra-reliable DuraLock crossbar system, providing rock-solid lockup and a safe, ambidextrous closing experience that keeps your fingers away from the blade’s path.
