Kershaw Kapsule
Item #: KE-1190
$34.95
The Kapsule by Kershaw is just all around easy; easy to cut with, easy to carry and easy on the eyes. Designed by Jens Anso, this unique Kershaw opens with an out-the-front, manual sliding mechanism, securing the blade with a button lock. The single-edge, spear point blade is safe and easy to use, making it an excellent box cutter.
Despite its utility, the Kapsule doesn't look like a knife at first, a perfect non-threatening carry. The pivot, backspacer and lanyard hole are highlighted with a blue PVD coating, and the handle features unique machining. This simple, yet effective Kershaw delivers utility in a convenient, compact package.
The 8Cr13MoV blade has a stonewashed finish to help hide those hard use scratches. The deep-carry pocket clip allows for a subtle, comfortable carry in the pocket or use the lanyard hole to attach to a key ring.
The 1-7/8" spear point blade has a hardness of 58-60 Rc. The closed length is 3-1/8". Weighs 2.0 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.
