Ergonomics is the driving force behind this newest Rick Hinderer-Kershaw collaboration.
Based on Rick Hinderer�s Eklipse model, this new Kershaw Shield offers all the �ergos� of the Eklipse at an easy-on-the-pocketbook price.
The tanto blade�s main edge is hollow-ground for excellent slicing capabilities, but that�s combined with a flat-ground tip for strong piercing abilities, too.
8Cr13MoV blade steel offers solid edge-holding capability, strength, and hardness.
The all-stainless-steel handle provides deep finger contours for an extremely comfortable and secure grip.
Titanium carbo-nitride coating gives the Shield a subtle, no-nonsense look.
The Shield opens smoothly and easily with the built-in flipper and Kershaw�s SpeedSafe assisted opening.
A secure frame lock with hardened steel lockbar insert and lockbar stabilizer ensures a reliable lock up.
For carrying convenience, the Shield offers a four-position pocketclip for left/right, tip-up/down pocket carry.
