The knife industry has changed a lot in 40 years. But ever since Kershaw started, the brand has maintained a commitment to quality. Kershaw’s founder, Pete Kershaw, knew the importance of guaranteed quality. The outdoorsman often used knives for hunting and fishing. In the late 1974, he decided to start his own knife company at a cement plant in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Every Kershaw knife starts with American innovation, American design, and American engineering.
We stand behind every Kershaw knife. From high-end, premium-materials knives to value-priced models, every Kershaw provides plenty of bang for every hard-earned buck. Even our budget knives incorporate high-end technology. Because everyone deserves to own a knife with the style and function they really want.

More infoNot sure how to choose a knife? There are several parameters by that to choose a knife.
For universal use, a blade with a smooth edge is the most suitable, with that you can cut practically everything, as with a serrated one. The serrated edge is ideal for cutting ropes or leather, but on the contrary, it is not possible to chop wood or work wood properly with it. The golden mean is the combined edge combining smooth and serrated ones, but even this variant has its disadvantage - grinding. It is very difficult to sharpen the combined edge at home.
The blade is the most important thing on the knife, it is made of either carbon or stainless steel.
Carbon steels contain more carbon, what is also reflected in their properties - they have better cutting properties, are easy to process and also grind, for example, by grinders from one of the most famous grinding manufacturers on the market, Lansky sharpeners, whose products can also be found in our offer. The disadvantage of carbon steels is their greater susceptibility to corrosion, so they require careful maintenance. Although stainless steels are not entirely stainless, as the name suggests, they require less corrosion maintenance than carbon steels.

Fuses are on the closing knives to eliminate unintentional opening when carried in a pocket, but also to ensure the open position of the knife during work.
For knives from our offer, you usually come across fuses of the following types:
Handles are mostly ergonomically shaped and rubberized to fit well in the hand and prevent the hand from slipping on the blade and subsequent injury. In the range of folding knives, you can also come across knives with handles made of kraton, that is durable and has a low weight, or also made of steel, that is even more durable but heavier.
