BlackWash™ is a name given to a specific knife blade finish. This is a variation of the Stone Wash blade finish which has become very popular over the past few years. BlackWash is accomplished by first coating the blade black and then adding the stonewash finish. We have chosen three of Kershaw's most popular folders to which they have added their BlackWash finish to give the knife that already broken-in look, like your favorite pair of jeans. All the blades, and in the case of the Leek the entire knife, are coated with their black-oxide coating, then tumbled to give them that worn look. Each knife features the Ken Onion designed SpeedSafe® locking system.

If a high-tech tactical knife is your thing, but you are looking for a knife that will work for practical everyday applications as well, the Blur may be your knife. This version has a 3-1/2" Sandvik 14C28N stainless blade at 58-60 Rc. The handles are 6061-T6 anodized aluminum with Trac-Tec inserts for secure grip. The pocket clip allows for tip up or tip down carry, and is completely removable. Liner-style lock. Measures 4-3/8" closed and weighs 4.0 oz. Made in the USA. Suggested retail is $159.99.

Kershaw Knives

Kershaw Knives was founded in 1974 in Portland, Oregon when knife salesman Pete Kershaw started a cutlery company that would make knives from his designs. Japanese based KAI Cutlery manufactured those designs. In 1978, KAI Cutlery purchased Kershaw Knives and the company, renamed KAI USA Ltd., continues today with three product lines; including the original Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, and Shun Cutlery which primarily markets kitchen cutlery.

Over the years, Kershaw Knives has worked with several custom knifemakers. Cutlery Hall of Famer Ken Onion, a custom knife maker and inventor of the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism, is the premier knife designer for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw has also collaborated with custom knifemakers Grant and Gavin Hawk, Frank Centofante, and Ernest Emerson. Kershaw has released models that were developed in collaboration with National Geographic, Jeep, Orange County Choppers, the American Professional Rodeo Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.

Kershaw manufactures excellent knives and has built a very strong customer fan base due to their innovative designs and their quality control.
