Kershaw Analyst
Item #: KE-2062ST
$34.95
The Analyst is a tough Kershaw folder with plenty of work-ready features. Its tanto combo edge allows for versatile cutting ability. A serrated edge saws through rope and fabrics, while the tanto point excels at piercing. The built-in flipper with the added feature of Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe® assisted opening makes accessing the blade fast, easy and one-handed.
Glass-filled nylon texturing and spine jimping provide an extra-secure grip. A BlackWash blade finish hides use scratches after a hard day of work. BlackWash™ is a name given to a specific knife blade finish. This is a variation of the Stone Wash blade finish which has become very popular over the past few years. BlackWash is accomplished by first coating the blade black and then adding the stonewash finish. This coating gives the knife that already broken-in look, like your favorite pair of jeans.
The 3-1/4" tanto blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and has a hardness of 57-59 Rc. The closed length is 4-1/4". The deep-carry pocketclip can be swapped to four positions, further enhancing its versatility. Weighs 3.5 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $49.99.

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.
