With the use of high quality materials and precision craftsmanship your Kershaw tool or knife will last a lifetime and stand up to the rigors of hard use. Regardless if you are knife collector, enthusiast, hunter, carpenter, mechanic, leo, military, or just an appreciator of quality knives - give Kershaw a chance and you will be impressed with the quality and durability of their offerings.
When we first introduced the SpeedSafe-equipped Blackout, it made a big impression on the knife industry. In fact, it was selected as a Blade Magazine Best Buy at the Blade Show, one of our industry's important trade shows.
Since its introduction the Blackout has gained fans in all walks of life-from police officers who won't go on patrol without it, to outdoors enthusiasts who consider it their go-to knife, to guys who just like to EDC a good-sized knife.
The Blackout's blade is a classic drop-point, perfect for handling a wide range of tasks. The blade steel is high-performance 14C28N. Developed in a partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik Steel, this stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, hardness, and edge retention. To enhance that performance even more, we added a black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) scratch-resistant blade coating.
You'll also like the Blackout's ergonomic handle design for a grip that's comfortable, secure, and ensures that you're always in control of the cut. For sheer toughness in this workaday world, the handle is made of durable glass-filled nylon. And of course, for fast and easy blade deployment, the Blackout features SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just push outward on the thumbstud and the blade moves out of the handle and locks securely into place, ready for use. A locking liner ensures the blade stays securely open during use and closes easily when you're ready.
