Product Description
Inspired by the sleek, high-tech lines of aerospace design, the Kershaw Norad has officially landed. This manual folder offers a high-end, custom look at an affordable price, blending modern materials with sophisticated engineering. The Norad isn't just about looks; it’s a beefy, work-ready tool designed for those who want their everyday carry to reflect a futuristic, precision-oriented aesthetic.
The 3.3-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, providing elite edge-holding capability, strength, and hardness for demanding tasks. The blade features a striking two-tone finish: a deep gray PVD coating within the hollow grind contrasted by a brilliant machine satin finish on the flats. Deployment is exceptionally smooth via Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system. To maintain its clean lines, the flipper is reduced in size when closed and completely disappears into the handle profile when the knife is open. The stainless steel handle is accented with carbon fiber inserts on both the front and back, while an oversized, polished pivot and a custom raised-jimping backspacer ensure a modern look and a rock-solid grip.
