Kershaw Decimus: A Tactical Edge in Everyday Carry
The Kershaw Decimus, inspired by Rick Hinderer's Maximus design, stands as a testament to tactical elegance and functionality. This knife is not only a tool but an extension of the warrior ethos embodied in its heroic appearance.
At the heart of this formidable EDC (Everyday Carry) lies a single-edge bayonet grind blade, finished with Kershaw's signature BlackWash treatment. This finish offers both aesthetic appeal and practical concealment against glare—a feature that can be crucial when discretion matters.
Opening the Decimus is effortless due to the SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism. With just a flick of the flipper—an intuitive protrusion mirrored on both sides for ambidextrous use—the blade springs into action with authority. The symmetrical design also includes a short cross guard, ensuring your fingers remain safe from accidental slips during vigorous tasks.
The frame lock system secures the blade firmly during use, providing confidence through sturdy construction. Complementing this is a reversible pocket clip allowing for right or left tip-up carry options, catering to personal preference while maintaining readiness at all times.
