The Kershaw Knockout is a real knockout, but the actual reason it has that name is because they’ve knocked out a piece of aluminum frame to add extra strength and security to the frame lock by putting a piece of steel in its place.
Made in the USA, the Knockout boasts a 3.25-inch blade made of stonewashed Elmax steel with a satin finish. It locks into place with a sub-frame lock that’s extremely secure without unnecessarily weighing down the knife.
To aid with quick opening, the knife features Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism along with a flipper for effortless ambidextrous engagement.
Continuing with the one-two punch is the good-looking handle made of patterned 6061-T6 anodized aluminum.
Rounding out the knife is a four-position clip that allows for tip-up or tip-down and left-handed or right-handed carry. The clip also provides deep carry.
With quality material and handsome finishes, Kershaw truly knocked it out of the park with the Knockout.
