Product Description

The Kershaw Layup (2047) is a game-changer in the world of assisted folders, merging lightning-fast deployment with the rock-solid security of the DuraLock system. Engineered for users who prioritize speed and safety, the Layup is one of the few knives to combine a torsion bar assist with a crossbar lock. The result is a high-performance EDC tool that snaps open with authority and allows for a completely safe, one-handed closing experience without ever placing your fingers in the blade's path.

The 3.4-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a favorite among professionals for its exceptional edge retention and "work-horse" durability. The blade features a clean stonewashed finish that effectively masks the scuffs and scratches of daily labor. The handle is constructed from textured glass-filled nylon (GFN), providing a lightweight yet incredibly tough frame with a multi-directional grip pattern for total control in wet or dry conditions. Whether you're on the job or out in the field, the Layup delivers effortless, reliable performance.

• Elite DuraLock Technology: The steel crossbar lock provides maximum security while open and allows for an ambidextrous, safe closure that keeps fingers away from the sharpened edge.

• Assisted Opening + KVT Bearings: This rare combination utilizes Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assist alongside manual KVT ball bearings for the smoothest, snappiest deployment in its class.

• Premium D2 Blade Steel: High-carbon tool steel (59-60 HRC) ensures your edge stays sharper for longer compared to traditional stainless steels.

• High-Traction GFN Handle: The glass-filled nylon handle is contoured for ergonomics and heavily textured to ensure a "locked-in" grip during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

• Versatile Deep-Carry Clip: Features a reversible pocket clip for discreet, ambidextrous tip-up carry, making it a perfect fit for any pocket.
