Product Description
The Kershaw Outlier Tan (2064TANBW) delivers a rugged, desert-ops aesthetic to one of the most functional karambits on the market. By pairing a high-traction Tan handle with a non-reflective BlackWash™ blade, this Outlier variant is designed for those who need a tactical tool that thrives in harsh environments. Whether you’re utilizing a traditional or reverse grip, the Outlier provides the mechanical speed and ergonomic security required for precision utility and self-defense applications.
The 2.6-inch hawkbill blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing a sharp, durable edge that is easy to maintain. The BlackWash™ finish not only adds a stealthy, pre-worn look but also provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion and daily scuffs. Equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the blade snaps open instantly via the flipper tab or dual thumb studs. With its skeletonized steel safety ring, textured Tan glass-filled nylon (GFN) handles, and a secure liner lock, the Outlier is a fast, reliable, and undeniably tough addition to any tactical kit.
-
Snappy SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening: Instantaneous, one-handed deployment with a simple pull of the flipper or push of the thumb stud.

Tactical BlackWash™ Finish: The blade and steel ring feature a rugged, non-reflective finish that hides wear and reduces glare in tactical situations.

Desert-Inspired Tan GFN Handle: Lightweight, high-strength handle scales provide a slip-resistant grip and a specialized tactical look.

Steel Safety Ring & Versatile Grip: Includes a precision-machined ring for secure retention and a jimped steel backspacer to accommodate multiple grip styles.
