The Kershaw Esteem is a modern slip joint folder with dress carry style for the office, urban EDC or anywhere with length or lock restrictions. The broad drop point blade is capable of handling a variety of tasks while the combination of stainless steel, polished black G10 and bronze PVD coated hardware delivers a handsome and attractive handle. The style, function and discreet deep carry clip make the Esteem a contemporary design with functional appeal.
Brand new, direct from Kershaw.
Blades: The bead blasted drop point opens via a classic nail nick with a palpable half stop on the detent slip joint. Fully flat ground, the 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade offers well-balanced modern performance.
Handle: Stainless steel liners support two-tone stainless steel and polished G10 scales for a handle with confidence inspiring heft. Complementary bronze PVD coated hardware enhances the eye-catching style and partial back spacer comes milled for lanyard attachment.
Carries via a right-hand stainless steel deep carry clip.
8Cr13MoV: Similar to Japanese AUS-8, 8Cr13MoV is a low carbon, high chromium stainless steel with an excellent balance of toughness and strength. It offers good corrosion resistance and takes a razor sharp edge with ease. Edge holding is relatively low.
