D2 steel blade - durability you can rely on
At the heart of the Broadside is a Spear Point profile head with a length of 89 mm, made of durable D2 steel, valued by professionals. D2 is a carbon steel with superior corrosion resistance that cuts extremely aggressively, has excellent retention (ability to hold focus) and is highly resistant to wear and damage. D2 is a great alternative to expensive premium steels because it has great cutting properties, is hard and highly resistant to abrasion.
Sharpening it requires a lot of work and a suitable sharpener (preferably diamond), but this is compensated by long edge retention and less frequent sharpening.
The blade has a sabre grind, which perfectly combines precision with durability - ideal for heavier tasks and everyday use. The Stonewashed finish not only looks great, but effectively masks the scratches that occur during heavy use.
Maximum control and comfort - even during long hours of work
The handle made of brown G10 plastic has been contoured so that it fits well in the hand even during prolonged use. The rough texture of the material ensures a secure grip, even when hands are wet or dirty. The sturdy construction and adequate thickness of the tang (13.2 mm) make the Broadside give a sense of stability and control, no matter the situation.
Kershaw Broadside folding knife - flipper and DuraLock locking mechanism
The knife opens with a thumb stud on both sides. A DuraLock lock on both sides, similar to the otherwise well-known Axis Lock, protects it from closing. The system uses an omega-type spring and is considered very secure. The lock is conveniently operated with the thumb. Opening the knife is instant thanks to the KVT system on ball bearings - a slight movement of the thumb is all it takes to get the knife ready for action.
Daily carry? No problem
The mounted Deep Carry clip allows you to carry the knife low and discreetly in your pocket. What's more - it is reversible, so both right- and left-handed people can adjust the knife to their preferences. The cord hole provides an additional option for personalization or attaching the knife to equipment.
The Kershaw Broadside 2052 is a knife that looks rugged and performs reliably. It' s made for tough tasks, but with the soul of a modern EDC. Choose it if you value strength, reliability and convenience in one tool.
