Kershaw® Tyrade

154CM Spine Fused with CPM-02 Cutting Edge

Blade Magazine's 2007 Overall Knife of the Year®

At the 2007 Blade Show, Kershaw introduced an innovative twist on blade steel. The Tyrade has a 3-5/8" beefy drop point composite blade that consists of a spine of 154CM fused to a cutting edge of CPM-D2 at 58-60 Rc. This creates a unique look for a blade and allows the manufacturer to use a lesser quality steel for the spine and one of the new expensive high performance steels for the cutting edge. This is the first knife ever produced using this technology and Kershaw chose to use two expensive steels. Production will be limited but Kershaw has not indicated how many they will make or when they will stop production. Watch for new, less expensive knives with standard steels for the blade spine.

The handle is Titanium with a bronze color Zirconium Carbo-Nitride coating with black Carbon Fiber inlays on both sides. Features SpeedSafe assisted opening and a removable pocket clip. Measures 5" closed and weighs 6.7 oz. Made in the U.S.A. Suggested retail is $350.00.
