Kershaw® Knives - Cutting-Edge Innovation Since 1974

Founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw in Portland, Oregon, Kershaw Knives has spent over fifty years at the forefront of the everyday carry (EDC) and sporting knife industries. Known for pushing boundaries in mechanical innovation, the brand revolutionized the knife market with its famous, lightning-fast SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism. Operating today under the Kai USA umbrella, Kershaw seamlessly balances high-tech manufacturing with field-tested practicality, engineering cutting tools that excel everywhere from the workshop and the ranch to heavy outdoor expeditions.

Kershaw is universally celebrated for utilizing premium, high-performance steels paired with highly secure locking mechanisms. Their modern lineup showcases advanced designs boasting razor-sharp blades like CPM MagnaCut steel and their rock-solid DuraLock mechanism, alongside heavy-duty favorites known for recurved profiles and high corrosion resistance. Whether opting for an ultra-lightweight tactical folder or a traditional multi-blade slipjoint, every authentic Kershaw knife delivers maximum edge retention, extreme durability, and a smooth, ergonomic grip.
