Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Kershaw Drivetrain knife?

The Kershaw Drivetrain is an assisted-opening flipper knife featuring a drop-point blade with a clipped tip. It includes a carbide glass breaker for emergency situations and an integrated seatbelt cutter designed for easy and quick access, even under stress.

Why is D2 steel a good choice for knife blades?

D2 steel offers superior edge retention compared to many standard stainless steels. It can be heat-treated to a higher hardness without becoming brittle, and its material composition with carbides helps the edge stay sharp for longer periods during use.

What makes the Kershaw Launch 13 unique?

The Kershaw Launch 13 is an automatic knife distinguished by its slim profile and a Wharncliff blade. This blade shape, with a slightly tipped-up edge, is particularly effective for detailed work, carving, slicing, and tasks like cutting open boxes.

Where can I find new Kershaw knives from 2021?

You can find the latest Kershaw knives, including models like the Brace, Drivetrain, and Launch 13, on their official website at www.kai-usa.com. They are also available through authorized Kershaw dealers.
