Product Description
The Kershaw Radar (5560) is a rugged, tactical workhorse designed to fly under the radar until it's time to get to work. Featuring a stealthy, "blacked-out" aesthetic, this all-steel folder is built for durability and precision. The entire knife is treated with Kershaw's signature BlackWash™ finish, which not only provides a non-reflective look but also excels at hiding the scuffs and scratches that come with heavy daily use.
The 2.9-inch drop point blade is crafted from expertly heat-treated 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, optimized for a sharp edge that is easy to maintain in the field. The blade features a high-performance hollow grind for surgical slicing and jimping along the spine for enhanced thumb traction. Deployment is instantaneous thanks to the SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism and a responsive flipper tab. With a rock-solid stainless steel frame lock and a highly versatile four-position pocket clip, the Radar is one of the most adaptable and reliable compact folders in the Kershaw lineup.
