Product Description
The Kershaw Strata Cleaver (2078) takes the sleek, modern aesthetic of the original Strata and supersizes it with a kitchen-inspired power profile. This is not your average pocket knife; featuring a massive 4-inch cleaver blade, the Strata Cleaver is designed for those who need maximum cutting surface and a bold presence. Despite its impressive 9.3-inch overall length, the Strata maintains a remarkably slim profile, ensuring it remains comfortable for daily carry while offering the utility of a full-sized folding meat cleaver.
The blade is forged from D2 high-carbon tool steel, a favorite among hard-use enthusiasts for its incredible wear resistance and edge retention. The rugged stonewashed finish provides a matte look that expertly masks scratches from heavy utility work. Deployment is buttery smooth thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system, allowing the large blade to snap open with a simple pull of the flipper tab. The handle features a hybrid construction: a textured black G10 front scale for a secure grip and a bead-blasted stainless steel frame lock for rock-solid security. Finished with bronze PVD-coated accents, the Strata Cleaver is the perfect blend of industrial grit and modern style.
