Kershaw Heist Folder
Item #: KE-2037
$59.95
The Heist by Kershaw, is a new folder for 2023. This mid-sized folder has a dual sided thumbstud that employs bronze washers for a smooth ambidextrous action. The modified clip point blade is made from D2 steel helping to keep the edge last even longer. The subtle texturing on the glass-reinforced nylon handle give you enough traction to keep a good grip while in use. The reversible tip-up deep-carry pocket clip fits nicely in the pocket. 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, making the Hiest truly ambidextrous.
The 3-1/4" modified clip point blade is made from D2 stainless steel and has a hardness of 60-61 Rc. The closed length measures 4-3/8". Weighs 2.8 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.
