Kershaw Faultline 8760 - a compact folder for everyday use
The 76 mm long blade is made of popular 8Cr13MoV steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. The steel used has good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6. The 8Cr13MoV stainless 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.
The slim blade with a utilitarian clip-point profile has an eye-catching BlackWash finish (black oxidation), which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions to the blade incurred during use. Thanks to the use of a very aggressive hilt, concave grind and a cutting edge with a gentle curve, the knife has good cutting properties and penetrates easily. The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the strength and functionality of the knife in everyday work.
On the entire back of the blade transverse cutters were made, which provide a stable point of support for the fingers during planing or precision tip cutting.
Kershaw - budget folding knives with very good value for money
The blade is unfolded with one hand using a milled flipper, a solution convenient for both right- and left-handed users. Two KVT ball bearings are installed on the axis of the head, thanks to which the blade opens very smoothly and dynamically.
The ball-bearing head, combined with a functional flipper, makes the daily use of the knife a pure pleasure. After unfolding the blade is securely locked by a liner-lock mechanism . The steel locking bar provides a high level of safety, 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.
The handle of the knife is formed by facings made of fiberglass-reinforced nylon. The laminate used is characterized by light weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, as well as many acids and solvents.
The profiled shape of the handle, the finger undercut and the fine non-slip checkering make this small knife fit securelyin the handand comfortable for everyday use. Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a spring-loaded, non-transferable clip.
