Kershaw Cannonball
Item #: KE-2061
$54.95
The Cannonball is a standout work knife fit for many tasks. The folder's frame lock and steel handle provide ideal durability and security. The 3-1/2" drop point blade opens with SpeedSafe assisted opening and features a BlackWash finish that hides hard-use scratches. This one-handed, index-finger opening design makes the blade easy to deploy, left or right-handed.
Its D2 blade steel offers exceptional edge retention for repeated work. With a handle length of 4-1/2", the Cannonball is comfortable to hold, even for larger hands. Yet its reversible tip-up deep-carry pocket clip allows it to disappear in the pocket. A custom pivot cap and backspacer add the finishing aesthetic touches to this hard-working Kershaw.
The D2 blade steel has a hardness of 60-61 Rc. Weighs 5.4 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $79.99.

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.
