Kershaw Brace
Item #: KE-2085
$24.95
Small neck knives are very convenient but the actual utility is sometimes overlooked. That’s where the Brace comes in. Despite its small profile, the fixed blade has many features that enhance grip, including a curved handle guard design, jimping,and a front handle cutout for an alternate thumb grip. These grippy additions let users get the most out of its blade. During travel, secure the knife in a polypropylene neck sheath. Its dual-retention system keeps the Kershaw secure. With the sheath, the full-tang knife only weighs 1.6 ounces. The Brace is easy to carry, but it also packs a punch as a utilitarian winner.
The 8Cr13MoV blade steel offers edge-holding capability, strength, and hardness. The 1-7/8" drop point blade is stonewashed finish to help hide those hard use scratches. The molded sheath features dual-retention system for secure carrying; knife can be sheathed whether its flipped left or right. Overall length measures 4-7/8". Weighs only 0.9 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $34.99.

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.
