Kershaw Knives - Assisted Opening, Folding & Tactical Blades

This category includes Kershaw folding knives, assisted-opening knives, tactical blades, and everyday-carry pocket knives. The selection is intended for utility, work, duty, outdoor, and civilian EDC use.

Kershaw tactical and folding knives can fit duty and security roles when the size, opening style, and carry method match the user’s needs. Buyers should choose a knife that aligns with their agency policy, local carry rules, and intended tasks.

SpeedSafe is Kershaw’s assisted-opening system used on select models. It helps the blade open quickly and easily after the user starts deployment with a flipper or other opening feature.

The Kershaw Scallion is an ambidextrous flipper, which supports easy opening for both right- and left-handed users. Pulling back on the flipper moves the blade out of the handle for use.

Start with the carry role: compact pocket carry, work utility, duty backup, or tactical use. Then compare opening style, blade type, handle comfort, lockup, and overall size so the knife fits your gear setup and daily tasks.

Kershaw Knives & Tools for Duty and Everyday Carry

Kershaw knives are built for people who expect a blade to be ready when the job calls for it. Whether you are buying your first Kershaw or adding another to your everyday-carry setup, this selection brings together folding knives, assisted-opening designs, tactical blades, and compact utility options trusted by duty users and practical EDC buyers alike. Founded in 1974, Kershaw set out to design and manufacture tools that knife owners would be proud to own, carry, and use.

The brand is known for fast opening action, sharp out-of-the-box blades, tight manufacturing tolerances, innovative designs, and the solid feel of dependable blade lockup.

Kershaw’s purpose-driven knives are made for control, durability, and reliable performance across work, field, range, and daily carry tasks. Use this category to compare Kershaw knives by carry role, opening style, blade profile, handle design, and overall size. A compact knife can be a strong choice for pocket carry, backup utility, or gift use, while a larger tactical or work-focused folder may offer more control for gloved hands and demanding tasks.

If you carry on duty, match your knife choice to your uniform, gear placement, local carry rules, and departmental policy.

Popular Kershaw designs include compact everyday-carry models such as the Chive, along with the Scallion, which is known for quick, easy opening with SpeedSafe assisted opening and an ambidextrous flipper. That combination makes deployment straightforward for right- or left-handed users while keeping the knife practical for frequent utility use. Key Kershaw category considerations include:
