Kershaw’s Swerve is a tough pocket folder with a 3” extra-wide drop-point blade, ideal for slicing and almost any other cutting task. Made of high-performance 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the Swerve’s blade offers strength, edge retention and resistance to wear and corrosion, while its rugged stonewashed finish hides scratches, giving the knife a roughened style that always looks new. Jimping along the blade’s spine also provides users a thumb rest. The glass-filled nylon handle is contoured for comfort and wrapped in Kershaw’s exclusive K-Texture, for enhanced grip in wet conditions. Equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Swerve is easily opened with one hand by pulling back on the flipper or pushing down on the thumbstud. The liner lock ensures a secure blade lock-up during use and is easily deactivated with a single hand for transport, while a left/right reversible deep-carry pocketclip allows convenient discreet carry. Built to last by Kershaw, the Swerve is an EDC powerhouse.

This is a beautiful knife. I think this is Kershaw’s best looking knife. The grip is very comfortable and fits my hand perfectly.

The liner lock doesn’t have strong tension and doesn’t make contact with the end of the blade as it should. With the lock not making positive contact with the blade then the lock should be springing all the way across the handle opening but it doesn’t…
Another Christmas gift hit Gave these out as Christmas gifts last year and as usual, they were a big hit. Typically I like to pass out CRKT or Kershaw knives as gifts because you can get pretty decent quality for a very reasonable price, and even downright LOW price if on sale. This knife doesn’t disappoint. There are 2 potential cons to this knife. One is that the clip is non removable, so it is fixed where it is and you cannot move it to change the method of carry (I carry both tip up and tip down so it doesn’t…
Very nice medium-sized EDC A solid EDC, with nice weight and build. There is zero blade play, the locking mechanism works perfectly, and assisted open is crisp with a good sized ‘flipper’.The overall length is on par with medium EDC knives, but the blade shape makes it seem much more substantial. In fact, it seems a bit bulky, but that’s due to my preference towards more compact EDCs. The clip is small but sturdy, so this knife sits more discretely in your pocket than you might guess.The booklet it came with…
