Product Description
Kershaw takes the fan-favorite Link to an elite level with the 1776OLSW, featuring a massive steel upgrade and a redesigned handle. This version of the Link is proudly Made in the USA and offers professional-grade materials at an incredible value. By incorporating super-premium CPM-20CV blade steel, Kershaw has transformed this everyday workhorse into a high-performance cutting tool that rivals much more expensive boutique folders.
The 3.25-inch drop point blade is crafted from CPM-20CV, a powdered metallurgy steel renowned for its "super steel" status. It delivers an extraordinary combination of hardness, toughness, and extreme corrosion resistance, while providing some of the best edge retention in the industry. The blade features a rugged stonewashed finish that masterfully hides scratches from heavy use. The handle has been upgraded to OD Green anodized aluminum with a unique, deeply machined pattern. This new texture provides a departure from the classic Link aesthetic, offering a significantly more secure grip and a modern, tactical look. With Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Link deploys with lightning speed and authority every time you hit the flipper.
