Product Description

The Kershaw Steppe (2048) is a versatile, full-tang fixed blade designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty work and lightweight everyday carry. Engineered for those who prefer the reliability of a fixed blade over a folder, the Steppe offers a robust construction that excels in everything from outdoor utility to professional job-site tasks. With its skeletonized steel frame and removable scales, it provides a customizable platform that adapts to your specific needs.

The 3.55-inch drop point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a material prized for its aggressive cutting performance and long-lasting edge retention. The blade features a high-performance "slicer grind" and a rugged stonewashed finish that hides scratches and wear. For precision work, an integrated pinch grip hole allows you to choke up for surgical control. The handle is built from polypropylene with a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) overmold, providing a high-traction, comfortable grip in all weather conditions.

• Hard-Working D2 Steel: High-carbon tool steel (59-60 HRC) ensures the blade maintains a razor-sharp edge through grueling tasks.

• Customizable Skeletonized Frame: The textured polypropylene scales are removable, allowing you to use the knife as a slim skeletonized fixed blade or add your own aftermarket custom scales.

• Ergonomic Pinch Grip Design: Features an oversized hole at the choil, specifically designed to allow users to securely "pinch" the blade for detailed, close-up cutting.

• Multi-Mount Polypropylene Sheath: The included molded sheath features a reversible belt clip that supports vertical, scout (horizontal), or cross-draw carry. It is also fully compatible with Tek-Lok attachment systems.

• Field-Ready Features: At a featherweight 2.5 ounces (knife only), the Steppe includes an integrated water drainage hole in the sheath, ensuring your tool stays dry and ready in diverse environments.
