Six Ways Kershaw Knives are Superior

Kershaw knives have become famous for their high production standards and exceptional designs. It’s why so many people today own at least one, and sometimes several, Kershaw knives such as the Ken Onions. Owning a high quality hunting knife is essential to anybody who hunts or fishes, and a reliable pocket knife is something even men in cities carry with them every day.

Why are Kershaw knives and the Ken Onion models so popular? Because of the quality and a few very unique features. Let’s take a look at what makes knives by Kershaw so great:

1. Kershaw Knives offer plenty of options. Kershaw offers a wide variety of styles and types of knife in their various product lines. Whether you want a finely honed filleting knife or a great kitchen knife, Kershaw knives has what you need. Some of the types they offer include:

* Filleting knives
* Kitchen knives
* Hunting knives
* Pocket knives
* Tactical knives
* Sport knives

2. Ken Onion’s Speed Safe opening. Ken Onion designed the original one-handed safety opening system for knife blades. It was relatively unknown until this world-class knife designer teamed up with Kershaw knives to produce some of his line on a larger scale. Today, it’s the most sought-after feature in the pocket knife industry. With it, you can open your knife easily with just your thumb or one finger. It springs open so quickly and safely you almost can’t see the motion.

3. Versatility. Ken Onion has designed a wide array of styles for various uses under the Kershaw Knives brand. These range from small pocket knives to serrated edge and fixed blade models. Kershaw also offers blades designed in collaboration with Steven Seagal and National Geographic.

4. Quality construction. Kershaw Knives are all made of tungsten coated stainless steel. Each one is precision balanced with a finely sculpted tang to prevent loosening or shifting of the blade. Lock-in mechanism on folding knives mean there’s no chance that the knife will accidentally snap closed during use.

5. Razor-sharp blades. The blade is the most essential feature of any knife and Kershaw Knives will stand up to all kinds of challenges. They come to you sharpened to a keen edge and will rarely need sharpening. When they do, they’ll quickly take a new, razor-sharp edge with very little effort.

6. Limited lifetime warranty. Kershaw knives are guaranteed against defect for as long as you own them – and that can be a long time. There are plenty of sportsmen out there who are still carrying their first Kershaw with pride – the one they bought or received as a gift twenty years ago!

Purchasing a knife is an investment in a precision tool. It may be called into service for everything from hunting to stripping wire or slicing cord. By investing in one of the many Kershaw Knives, you’re ensuring years of solid, reliable performance wrapped up in good looks.
