Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto Folding Knife

Description

The Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto in Silver is built around a distinctive 3.4-inch stonewashed D2 tool steel blade, set in a silver anodized aluminum handle finished with Kershaw’s DuraLock mechanism.

D2 tool steel is a step up from standard stainless alloys, holding a working edge noticeably longer through repeated cutting thanks to its high carbon content, an advantage in a knife meant for daily use. The reverse tanto blade shape blends a strong, reinforced point with a smooth, controlled belly, offering piercing capability without a standard tanto’s more aggressive profile. The stonewash finish handles daily scuffs and scratches without showing wear the way a polished blade would, and the silver anodized handle gives the Iridium a different look from the all-black variants in the same lineup. DuraLock’s flipper mechanism gives a fast, deliberate way to start the blade open. At 7.9 inches overall, the Iridium carries with substance without tipping into bulk, a balance most buyers find comfortable for daily use.

Kershaw backs the Iridium with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife built around edge-holding steel and a distinctive silver finish.
