The Kershaw Kindred, from its sleek profile to the opening action, activate the thumb stud to lock the blade in place with the button lock. Pressing the steel button releases the blade for buttery drop shut action on KVT ball bearings. The spear point blade is highly efficient for deep cuts, using D2 tool steel and a full flat grind. Control the blade comfortably with a contoured aluminum handle, which also carries light in the pocket with a deep-carry pocket clip.
