In the realm of small neck knives, convenience often overshadows utility. Enter the Brace from Kershaw—a compact yet formidable fixed blade designed to defy expectations. Its diminutive profile belies a wealth of features aimed at enhancing grip and control, crucial for any knife worth its salt.
The Brace is engineered with a 2-inch blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV steel, renowned for its edge retention and durability. A stonewashed finish not only adds an aesthetic touch but also masks scratches acquired through use, ensuring that this tool remains as visually appealing as it is functional.
Attention to detail extends to its handle design. The steel handle boasts a contoured shape for optimal comfort and grip security—essential when precision matters most. Adding further versatility are jimping along the spine and an innovative front handle cutout that accommodates an alternate thumb grip, granting users maximum control over their tasks.
A full-tang construction underscores the knife's robust nature while maintaining a feather-light carry weight of just 1.6 ounces when paired with its sheath. This molded polypropylene neck sheath employs a dual-retention system that ensures your knife stays securely in place during travel or activity—whether sheathed left or right-handedly.
The Brace embodies what every good neck knife should be: easy to carry yet powerful enough to tackle utilitarian demands head-on. With Kershaw’s commitment to quality evident in every facet of this piece, you’ll find it not only convenient but indispensable in everyday scenarios where reliability cannot be compromised.
