Brand new, direct from Kershaw Knives, USA.

Blade: Executed in a utilitarian drop point profile, the blade is capable for general everyday slicing and piercing tasks. At just under two inches with a long upper fuller, the blade has a plain cutting edge sharpened to a razor edge and stonewashed for a rugged, wear hiding look. Deployment is via the bullseye-style button that is recessed to the flat of the handle, preventing unintentional activation. A powerful coil spring mechanism delivers lightening quick and reliable operation at the simple press of the button. Press again to close the blade for carry.

Handle: Contoured aluminum handle scales feature a straightforward, comfortable design. Along with an integrated back spacer, the handle is finished with a solid anodized finish. Milled for a secure grip, the pommel end has a generous hole for inline lanyard attachment.

Carries via a reversible, tip-up only, deep carry pocket clip.

CPM-154: CPM-154 is a particle metallurgy version of 154CM that benefits from the refinement in the PM process providing it with an increase in toughness and easy of finishing. CPM-154 takes a very fine edge and is highly corrosion resistant. Edge retention is going to be on-par with CPM S30V while being easier to resharpen. A great all-around blade steel.
