The Kershaw Iridium 2038R: Everyday Carry Excellence
The Kershaw Iridium represents modern folding knife design at its finest. This practical and stylish everyday carry blade combines functional geometry with refined aesthetics.
Blade Design and Performance
The reverse tanto blade geometry excels at cutting tasks. The blade's profile makes initial piercing effortless, while the curved edge delivers smooth, controlled slicing. The D2 high-carbon tool steel construction provides exceptional wear resistance and edge retention—a proven choice for demanding users.
The stonewashed finish serves a practical purpose: it conceals scratches and wear marks that accumulate during regular use, maintaining the knife's appearance over time.
Deployment and Security
Opening: The KVT ball-bearing system paired with an accessible thumb stud delivers buttery-smooth, reliable deployment every time.
Locking: DuraLock technology employs a solid steel crossbar mechanism that securely locks the blade in the open position, providing confidence during use.
Closing: An ambidextrous handle button allows safe, controlled blade closure with a simple slide-back motion.
Handle and Carry
The black-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales create an appealing, durable profile that resists corrosion. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip accommodates both right and left-hand carry preferences. The knife also features a lanyard hole and clear-anodized backspacer for added versatility.
Overall Length: 7.9 inches | Blade Length: 3.4 inches
