Kershaw?s Cathode is an ultra-functional everyday pocket carry. The 2.25-inch tanto blade made with 4Cr14 high-performance steel is great for slicing and piercing and is highly resistant to staining. A top grind gives the Cathode style and heavy jimping along the spine ensures a secure grip, even while performing detailed work. The blade is finished with a stonewashed finish, providing a rugged appearance capable of hiding scratches and fingerprints. The Cathode?s built-in flipper allows quick and easy ambidextrous single hand blade operation by utilizing Kershaw?s SpeedSafe assisted opening system. The Cathode?s stainless steel handle construction is cold-forged with a repeating pattern texture for standout looks and enhanced grip. A frame lock ensures secure blade lockup, preventing accidental closure during operation. Black hardware, including a backspacer with additional jimping, and a reversible pocket clip help compliment the Cathode?s handsome all steel construction..
