Kershaw has been designing and manufacturing high-quality knives since 1974. Its prime goal was and remains building tools users are proud of. The company strives to maintain high quality in all its products regardless of their price because nobody likes to spend hard-earned money on poorly constructed gear. Kershaw uses reliable materials, state-of-the-art manufacturing methods, and tight tolerances to build its products.
The company has several manufacturing factories, and the largest one is located in the US knife manufacturing center, Tualatin, Oregon. The factory uses the latest CNC machines, lasers, and precision grinders, but skilled machinists are always there to guide pieces through each stage. Final assembly and sharpening are done by hand by industry professionals.
Kershaw is a subsidiary of Kai USA, a part of the Kai Group. Kai is a Japanese manufacturer of blades, and while most Kershaw knives are USA-made, the company uses Kai’s resources to bring Japanese quality to our market.
The company makes an extensive range of knives for any application you can think of, from everyday carry to tactical knives, from fixed blades to folding automatics, from clip points to drop points.
Kershaw Knives
Kershaw pocket knives are the bread and butter of the company. One of the most popular models is the Leek. This beautiful minimalist drop-point knife uses the Kershaw SpeedSafe technology of assisted opening that changed the industry landscape in the late 90s. The Leek is a slim knife perfect for EDC.
Another knife users’ favorite is the award-winning CQC-7K developed in collaboration with Emerson. The knife suits multiple applications due to the tanto blade slicing and punching capabilities. Though the knife is the manual type, the Wave Shaped Opening feature allows you to swiftly open it as you take it from the pocket.
One more great Kershaw spring-assisted knife is the Blur. This classic multi-purpose knife is super-grippy due to the ergonomic aluminum frame with non-slip Trac-tec inserts.
Gritr Sports carries a vast array of fairly-priced quality Kershaw blades for hunting, outdoor, tactical, and EDC applications.
