Kershaw Outlier Karambit Folding Knife
The Kershaw Outlier represents a thoughtful approach to the karambit design—a curved blade profile that has proven itself in both tactical and utility applications. This is not a knife for the casual user; it demands respect and proper technique.
Blade Specifications

- Steel: 8Cr13MoV stainless steel
- Profile: Karambit curve design for specialized cutting and manipulation
- Edge: Factory sharp and ready for immediate use
Handle Construction
The handle employs G10 textured glass-filled nylon scales, a material choice that reflects Kershaw's commitment to durability without unnecessary weight. G10 resists moisture, won't degrade in harsh conditions, and provides the textured grip surface necessary for secure handling during demanding work.
Practical Considerations
This is a specialized blade design. The karambit's curved profile excels at certain cutting tasks and defensive applications, but requires familiarity to use effectively. The 2.6-inch blade length keeps the knife compact and deployable, while the folding mechanism allows for safe carry and storage.
Kershaw's reputation for quality manufacturing means you're getting a knife built to exacting standards—a tool that will perform consistently when you need it most.
