TheKershaw Outlier 2064 is an 8Cr13MoV steel karambit folding knife that is sure to appeal to collectors of tactical knives.
The 76mm long blade is made of the popular 8Cr13MoV steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. This Chinese steel 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 Hawkbill blade resembling a curved claw is as long as 66 mm. On the back of the blade transverse cutters have been made, which allow a stable finger rest and better control of the knife during precision cutting. The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.7 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

The blade can be easily unfolded with one hand using a double-sided peg or flipper. The solutions used allow right- and left-handed people to operate the knife comfortably. The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe assist mechanism. When the peg is leveraged or the flipper flipper 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. Once the blade is unfolded, it is securely 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 fiberglass-reinforced nylon. The profiled shape of the grip, the undercut for fingers and the fine non-slip milling make this small knife secure in the hand and comfortable for everyday use. The knife's handle is finished with a steel ring, allowing the knife to change its grip in an instant, as well as to be used as a beater. Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a resilient clip without the possibility of repositioning.
