Kershaw Iridium Button Lock 3.45" Spear Point

Kershaw Iridium Button Lock: American-Made Everyday Excellence

The Kershaw Iridium Button Lock represents a refined approach to folding knife design, combining proven performance with intuitive operation. This USA-manufactured folder is purpose-built for shooters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who demands reliable cutting performance in a compact package.

Blade Performance

CPM MagnaCut Steel delivers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 3.45" spear point blade features a distinctive two-tone finish—combining satin and stonewash surfaces—that balances aesthetics with practical visibility. This geometry excels at both fine detail work and general cutting tasks.

Operation & Safety

The button lock mechanism is the heart of this design. Unlike traditional thumb studs or flippers, the button lock keeps your fingers safely away from the blade's path during deployment and closure. One-handed operation is effortless: press the button, the blade deploys smoothly, and a confident press closes it just as easily. Tuned KVT ball bearings and precise detent ensure the blade opens with fluid grace and drops shut with satisfying authority.

Ergonomics & Carry

Contoured G10 handles provide a grippy, secure hold in any condition. The olive backspacer adds visual contrast while reinforcing the knife's balanced proportions. At 8 inches overall, the Iridium carries comfortably in a pocket or pack. The tip-up pocket clip positions the blade for quick access while maintaining a low profile.

Why It Matters

This is everyday performance made accessible. Simple to understand, satisfying to use, and built to last.
