Updated pics and specs for KS-1597G10 Kershaw G-10 Offset

Manufactured through state-of-the-art Metal Injection Molding (MIM) and hot isostatic pressing, the Offset’s blade offers two bevel geometries, hollow and flat. This provides incredibly versatile cutting power for a wide variety of situations. The net-shape MIM process produces solid metal parts that combine the design freedom of plastic injection molding with material properties similar to wrought metals. With its inherent design flexibility, MIM is capable of producing an almost limitless array of highly compex geometries – a fact the Offset takes advantage of in order to create a quality 440C stainless blade with complex, true 3-D geometry.

Added pics and specs to KS-1596 Kershaw Spec Bump

When Ken Onion set out to design the next generation of Bump knives, he called for some very demanding “specs.” The result is Kershaw’s Spec Bump. He started with a premium-quality S30V steel blade. This high-end stainless-steel holds an edge extremely well and manages to remain tough even at its high hardness – around 60 on the Rockwell scale. For extra durability and performance, the blade is coated with Tungsten DLC coating. The Spec Bump’s handles are built of durable G-10 machined in a radiating, three-dimensional texture for a secure grip in any environment.

Added pics and specs to KS-1595 Kershaw Speed Bump

For a lighter weight knife, choose the Speed Bump. It offers a Sandvik 13C26 stainless-steel blade for toughness, durability, and excellent edge retention. its lighter weight is, in part, due to a tough, but lightweight Akulon® handle. Akulon® is an engineering plastic that retains its outstanding mechanical properties over a wide temperature range and in diverse operating environments. For an extra-secure grip, Kershaw enhances the Speed Bump with a Santoprene® overlay. Santoprene® has the flexibility and durability of natural rubber, but with a much longer life.

Added pics and specs to KS-1800 Kershaw Mini Mojito

The Mini Mojito is another smaller knife with the versatile recurve blade. The knife’s “mojo” comes from its Ken Onion styling, its SpeedSafe® assisted opening system, and Kershaw’s patented Stud-Lock®. The Stud-Lock® offers an extremely secure locking mechanism that is easy to release when the user is ready to secure the blade in the handle for storage. The blade is quality Sandvik 13C26 and the handle is 410 stainless-steel with a G-10 insert. The insert not only accents the look of the knife, but provides for a more secure grip in a variety of conditions.

Added pics and specs to KS-1585BR Kershaw Baby Boa

Want a smaller Boa? Choose the Baby Boa with its high-polish, high-carbon Sandvik 13C26 stainless-steel blade. In addition to mirroring the lines of the larger Boa, the Baby Boa has a unique cutaway in the handle that exposes the SpeedSafe® torsion bar in order to provide a glimpse at the inner workings of the SpeedSafe® system. The aluminum handle features Kershaw’s doubled-anodized “smoked” process. The handle is actualy anodized twice – once to lay down the base color; in this case, a rich red – and a second time to “smoke” the handle with black. This produces a finish that looks as if smoke had been captured and imprinted on the handle. Each handle is absolutely unique – no two are exactly alike.

Added pics and specs to KS-1580ST Kershaw Boa – Partially Serrated Edge

The Big, beefy Boa was the first knife to offer knife users Kershaw’s innovative, even easer, way to deploy the SpeedSafe® assisted opening system. The Boa lets the user pull back on a protrusion on the back of the blade with his or her index finger – using either the left or right hand. This short pull deploys the SpeedSafe® system so that the blade moves into position smoothly and locks into place. In addition.with the blade in the open position, the protrusion becomes an extended finger guard for additional safety and a secure grip. The Boa also features a thumb-stud that can be installed on either the right or the left side – making it even easier for left and right-handers to use the knife.
