Kershaw Gadsden Pocketknife: A Classic with a Modern Twist
The Kershaw Gadsden embodies the timeless elegance of a traditional pocketknife, yet it is invigorated by modern enhancements that only Kershaw can deliver. This classic two-bladed slipjoint knife features both a clip point and a spey blade, crafted from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel. The inclusion of vanadium in the alloy not only bolsters its strength but also enhances wear resistance and toughness, ensuring that your blades maintain their edge over time.
In terms of aesthetics, the Gadsden does not disappoint. Its handle scales are made from black G10 material—a contemporary choice known for its durability and lightweight properties. Polished to accentuate the luster and weave of this high-tech composite, these handles provide an elegant contrast to the brass liners and rivets that add an extra touch of class.
