This Shallot comes with a DLC coat of basic matte black. With its slightly recurved blade and ergonomically contoured handle, it offers dramatic lines and dynamic performance in a larger-sized pocketknife.
The 31/2-inch blade is Sandvik 14C28N, a high-performance stainless steel designed in a partnership between Sandvik Steel and Kershaw.
Additional nitrogen in the formula gives the steel both excellent corrosion resistance and the ability to be hardened to 58-60 Rockwell�so it can take a wicked edge.
A scratch-resistant DLC coating turns both blade and pure steel handle to classy black.
The slight recurve in the blade makes it perfect for multi-tasking, from slicing to piercing.
For easy, one-handed opening, the black Shallot is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening. And since it opens with an ambidextrous flipper on the top of the knife, it�s perfect for both left- and right-handed users.
Just pull back on the flipper�actually a protrusion on the back of the blade�to start the blade out of the handle.
Once started, SpeedSafe takes over and the blade clicks smoothly into place, ready for use.
The black Shallot offers a sturdy frame lock, a reversible pocketclip, and provides great dark looks and top performance.
