TheKershaw Fatback 1935 is a tactical-style edc knife featuring a slim 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, aggressively textured FRN liners and a blade deployment assist system.
Stainless steel
The 89mm-long blade is made from the popular 8Cr13MoV steel, hardened to 57-59 HRC. This Chinese steel has good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6.
The8Cr13MoV steel blade will be great for everyday use due to its corrosion resistance, good sharpness retention and ease of sharpening, for which a pocket whetstone is completely sufficient.
Efficient cutting
The blade has a slender dagger profile, which can be described as a modified drop-point dagger. The blade is protected with a black oxide coating, which partially protects the blade from scratches and corrosion.
Thanks to the sharp hilt, concave grind and almost straight cutting edge, the knife provides excellent penetration and has good cutting properties. Deep transverse frets were made on the back, which allow the thumb to rest steadily while cutting.
Comfort of use
The blade can be quickly and conveniently unfolded with one hand using a milled flipper. The action takes place in a very natural and easy way and allows both right- and left-handed people to use the knife comfortably.
Assist mechanism for unfolding the blade
The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe assist mechanism. When the flipper blade is pressed, the assist mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second.
Steel blade lock
When the blade is unfolded, it is securely locked with a liner-lock mechanism. The steel locking bar provides a high level of security, and its operation is very intuitive and convenient. A reliable lock is an important element calling for the functionality and safety of the folding knife.
Tactical handle
The knife has straight facings made of polyamide, or fiberglass-reinforced nylon. The extended grip with non-slip texturing, the wide notch of the lower part and the flipper acting as a hilt make the knife very secure and safe in the hand.
Responsible for the stiffness and strength of the knife are steel reinforcing inserts, to which the polyamide facings are attached. Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is made possible by a wide clip, with the possibility of fixing in 3 positions.
