The Kershaw Shuffle folding knife is designed for those looking for a discreet and functional edc tool for simple and undemanding tasks.

The 61 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 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 wide drop-point profile blade has a striking BlackWash finish (black oxidation), which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions to the blade caused by use. Thanks to the use of a strong hilt, concave grind and a cutting edge with a gentle curve, the knife has good cutting qualities and will perform well during simple daily activities. The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

The blade is unfolded with one hand using a double-sided peg, which allows both right- and left-handed people to operate the knife comfortably. The unfolded blade is locked with 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 liners made of G10 composite. The glass-epoxy 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 tang, the finger undercut and the distinctive texturing with the K (Kershaw) motif, make the knife fit securely and comfortably in the hand despite its compact size.
Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a spring clip (which can be flipped to the other side). The knife's functionality is further enhanced by built-in tools: a bottle opener and a flathead screwdriver, which can also act as a hook for a rope or decorative braid.
