From the manufacturer:
Named after the Peter Iredale shipwreck in Astoria, Oregon, the Iredale pays respect to history while also pushing forward with a fresh design. Featuring a non-locking slipjoint mechanism, the Iredale includes a clip point blade and two sheepsfoot blades. Any of them can be used for everyday tasks, depending on the size and type of job. The polished micarta handle adds style and strength to the knife, along with steel bolsters and brass liners. It's traditional, yes, but this three-bladed Kershaw stands out in the modern era with plenty of character.
The 2-3/4" clip point blade, 2-1/4" sheepsfoot and 1-5/8" sheepsfoot blades are made from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel and has a hardness of 55-56 Rc. Polished black canvas micarta handle scales with stainless steel bolster and brass liners. Opens manually with a nail nick in the blade. The closed length measures 3-1/2". Weighs 2.2 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $59.99.

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.
