Kershaw Gadsden Two-Blade Slipjoint Pocketknife

The Gadsden: Tradition Meets Modern Craftsmanship

Kershaw's Gadsden represents a thoughtful update to the classic two-bladed slipjoint pocketknife—a design that has served outdoorsmen and working professionals for generations. This is a knife built on proven principles, refined with contemporary materials and attention to detail.

Blade Design and Steel

The Gadsden carries two distinct blades, each suited to different tasks. The clip point blade handles general cutting chores with precision, while the spey blade excels at detail work and specialized applications. Both blades are forged from 7CR17MoV stainless steel, a formula that includes added vanadium for increased strength, wear resistance, and toughness. This composition ensures your blades maintain a long-lasting edge through regular use.

Handle and Construction

The handle scales are machined from black G10, a material prized for its durability and grip characteristics. Kershaw's polishing process brings out the distinctive luster and weave of the material, giving the knife a refined appearance without sacrificing function. Brass liners and brass rivets complete the construction, adding both structural integrity and a touch of traditional craftsmanship.
