Kershaw Shield 3.1" Assisted Opening Knife, Stonewash (DISCONTINUED)

THE SHIELD IS THE HINDERER EKLIPSE EVERYONE CAN AFFORD

Ergonomics is the driving force behind this newest Rick Hinderer-Kershaw collaboration. Based on Rick Hinderer’s Eklipse model, this new Kershaw Shield offers all the “ergos” of the Eklipse at an easy-on-the-pocketbook price.

The tanto blade’s main edge is hollow-ground for excellent slicing capabilities, but that’s combined with a flat-ground tip for strong piercing abilities, too. 8Cr13MoV blade steel offers solid edge-holding capability, strength, and hardness. The all-stainless-steel handle provides deep finger contours for an extremely comfortable and secure grip. Titanium carbo-nitride coating gives the Shield a subtle, no-nonsense look.

The Shield opens smoothly and easily with the built-in flipper and Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening. A secure frame lock with hardened steel lockbar insert and lockbar stabilizer ensures a reliable lock up. For carrying convenience, the Shield offers a four-position pocketclip for left/right, tip-up/down pocket carry.

Flipper

May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives. The “flipper” is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.

SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening

Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.

Frame Lock

A portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. This is a safety feature of the knife.

4-Position

The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-handed carry.
