Kershaw Knives®

Kershaw Knives® manufactures a wide selection of function forward EDC, sport, and tactical pocket knives.

MANUAL

Kershaw pays tribute to the American spirit with the USA-made Federalist non-locking slipjoint. The double-detent system holds the blade in place while closed, and the half-stop offers controlled opening and closing action. 

AUTOMATIC

Cleaver blade action comes to Kershaw’s automatic series with the Launch 14. Grip the auto securely with the two-piece aluminum and carbon fiber front handle. While the flashy carbon fiber screams “look at me,” the Launch 14 is far from a sa.

OUTDOOR

Tough, beefy, and loaded with firepower, the Cannonball is a standout work knife fit for many tasks. The folder’s frame lock and steel handle provide ideal durability and security. The 3.5-inch drop point blade opens .

Kershaw Knives® Best Products

Kershaw pioneered the use of many of the technologies and advanced materials that are today standard in the knife industry. Our SpeedSafe assisted opening knives were first-to-market. Our patented Sub-Frame lock enables us to make lightweight knives with secure blade lockup. Our exclusive Composite Blade technology, which combines two steels into one blade, gives knife users the best of both worlds by enabling us to use steel known for edge retention on the edge and steel known for strength on the spine. And we will keep on innovating, bringing new and better technologies and materials to today’s knifemaking industry and knife-using public.

MANUAL Series

Manual-opening knives can be opened with a thumb stud, flipper, or hollow in the blade. Some also feature our KVT ball-bearing opening that enables the blade to move out of the handle smoothly when you pull back on a flipper. KVT makes opening manual knives as easy as assisted, Read More

AUTOMATIC Series

The Kershaw Launch series is a collection of sleek, fast, instant-open knives. A pushbutton lock holds the blade in place under pressure from a torsion spring. Pushing the button releases the lock and the blade springs open, ready for use. . Read More

OUTDOOR Series

We love it out there. If you do, too, you know how handy a pocketknife is for everything from cutting rope to building a campfire. Kershaw also has a range of other outdoor cutting and chopping tools to make your outdoor life even better.Read more

ASSISTED OPENING Series

Kershaw launched a revolution with SpeedSafe® assisted opening knives. When closed, a torsion bar in the handle creates a bias toward the closed position. To open the knife, apply manual pressure to the thumb stud or flipper to overcome the torsion bar’s resistance and open the knife.

EMERSON Series

Ernest Emerson is a renowned knifemaker known for a commitment to hard-use, ergonomically advanced knives. With Kershaw’s own commitment to innovation and quality, the Kershaw-Emerson collaboration makes high-performance knives available to more blade aficionados.

Kershaw Knives® FAQ

01.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CARRY A KERSHAW KNIFE IN MY POCKET?

Most Kershaw folding knives feature a pocket clip. To ensure the knife remains closed until you open it, put the knife inside your pocket with the clip to the outside. The blade side of the knife should be snugged up against the seam of the pocket. A tight pocketclip, combined with placement against a seam will help ensure your knife does not open accidentally during carrying.

02.

TO WHAT ANGLE SHOULD I SHARPEN MY KERSHAW BLADE?

Kershaw blades are sharpened to a range of angles, depending on the type of steel and end-use of the knife. Generally, Kershaw knives are sharpened to angles of between 20° and 22°. Fillet knives, however, are usually sharpened to 18°. When sharpening your Kershaw blade, we recommend maintaining a consistent angle of 18°–22°.

03.

DOES KERSHAW SELL SHARPENERS?

Kershaw offers one sharpener: the Ultra-Tek Sharpener. It features a 600-grit diamond sharpening surface. This grit is ideal for restoring the razor-sharp edge to sporting and pocketknife blades that are in generally good condition, just dull. For a knife in need of more extensive sharpening, we recommend you send it back to us to take advantage of our free sharpening service. Kershaw will re-sharpen any Kershaw knife for as long as you own it.

04.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO SHARPEN MY KERSHAW KNIFE?

The easiest and surest way to make sure your knife stays sharp is to send it back to us for free sharpening when the knife becomes dull. Just pay for shipping to and from our facility and we’ll sharpen it for free for as long as you own the knife. For more information on this service, visit our warranty section. If you wish to sharpen your knife yourself, we can recommend the Kershaw Ultra-Tek sharpener. You can also successfully sharpen your knife on a whetstone or other specialty sharpeners.

05.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY KNIFE?

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN MY KNIFE? Use compressed air or a soft cloth to remove surface dust and debris. If the knife is very dirty, wash it with mild soap and water, dry thoroughly, then oil it. Wiping a light coating of oil on the blade and hinge before storage is also important for keeping your investment in proper working order. Most household oils, WD40, 3-in-1 oil, or gun oil will work just fine for maintaining your Kershaw knife. We recommend using Kershaw Knife Oil.
