The Layup from Kershaw® combines Kershaw’s assisted opening system and KVT ball Bearings for simple and reliable blade deployment. The built-in flipper design makes the knife blade easy to open, left or right-handed. The glass filled nylon handle is textured to give you a sure grip when in use. The DuraLock, also known as a crossbar lock, is strong, safe, and easy to operate. The solid steel crossbar extends through both sides of the handle and engages with the blade tang, locking the blade in place. It can be operated left- or right-handed.

The 3-1/2" drop point blade is made from D2 steel and has a hardness of 59-60 Rc. The closed length is 4-1/2". Stainless steel liners and pocket clip. The deep carry pocket clip is positioned for a tip-up carry that is reversible for a right or left-hand carry. Weighs 3.6 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $84.99.

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.
