## Description

Modern design meets standout hardware in the Kershaw Iridium - a full-sized EDC knife strong enough for any task. The 3.4" spear point blade is made from highly wear resistant D2 high-carbon steel and finished with black-oxide coating to hide scratches and give the knife an all-black look. Paired with a black anodized aluminum handle with accent pivot, backspacer and lanyard hole. The DuraLock mechanism securely holds the blade open with a steel crossbar and allows safe closing with a two-sided handle button, while the KVT ball-bearing system ensures smooth blade deployment. Deep-carry reversible pocketclip allows for easy left- or right-hand carry in tip-up position. A perfect blend of modern style and everyday utility, the Kershaw Iridium is ready to handle whatever the day brings.

Review: Perfect! My new EDC! - I lost my go-to knife so needed another EDC. Saw the reviews and went for it. This knife is just about perfect in every way. Scary sharp right out of the box, hefty enough for tough jobs but still light enough not to be obtrusive. Thinner than my last knife, so more comfortable to carry. Silky smooth action, solid locking mechanism, and gorgeous finish. Love the copper colored spine. Overall, worth every penny. It’ll break my heart if I lose this one.
Review: Becoming my 2nd favorite edc knife I own. - I don't typically consider Kershaw to be all that impressive in regard to ease of action, blade retention, or even aesthetic appeal, obviously the last is strictly subjective to my own preference and can't be taken as anything objectively disagreeable comparatively. That being said, after one of the chefs I worked with picked up the original release with mirror blade and brass liner I was intrigued, the blade design and scales were sleek, edge was definitely sharp and the bar lock offered multiple action options all of which were smooth and fast. I bought the black option the same day from blade hq, and then a 2nd one from desertcart. I work in a kitchen and breaking down boxes, cutting into multiple layers of cater wrapping when new guy gets too ambitious with the plastic wrap, and a myriad number of other needs this knife gets a lot of action daily. After a month of heavy use it's still sharp, I keep my chef knives razor sharp whether it's a honing steal, ceramic, porcelain, or leather strop, and regularly run my knives on whetstones to keep them savage sharp, it's habitual daily ritual, I haven't given this knife the treatment because it hasn't needed it. It will hold an edge, I can't speak to retention for people using the knife for whittling wood or using it to cut carpet, rope, or whatever other things put a strain on the edge more than cardboard, varying spec plastic, and butchers twine. Action is still smooth, and is honestly enjoyable enough to be considered a bladed fidget spinner, it's entertaining and incredibly satisfying to feel the blade lock into place, just a tip if you are using the lock bar to deploy, only hold it down until the blade releases from closed lock position, otherwise you'll run the risk of having it kick back and close or fail to lock into open position on your first swivel, I typically thum flick the stud to open and then only use the lock bar to release and close but whatever your preference is just be aware of that. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for an incredibly reasonable priced edc that offers more bang for your buck than almost any knife I can think of. Does it measure up to a Benchmade bugout, in a lot of ways, absolutely. Obviously blade quality isn't comparable but that's where the 180-300$ price point for a bugout comes in. You could buy 3-5 of these Kershaw for one Benchmade. Just saying...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why am I having to wait a month and a half to get this?**
A: Mine took weeks on AMAZON

**Q: Where is it made?**
A: China

**Q: How's the handle texture for wet/sweaty grip?**
A: Not good, for wet or sweaty hands, the knife will probably slip out. Otherwise, a very good knife for the price, with a premium feel even compared to a Benchmade, actually much better than a Benchmade. The axis lock and pivot are much smoother than the latter.

**Q: Why does the handle feel like plastic?**
A: The handle is aluminum on the Iridium if it feels like plastic maybe you have a different model?

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slick, Tough, and Zero Nonsense—My EDC
*by H***R on August 12, 2025*

I picked up the Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto on 4/13/24, and it’s been in my pocket every day since. The 3.4" D2 steel blade has held its edge through all the usual EDC tasks—opening packages, cutting rope, and the occasional food prep—without a single touch-up. Opening is smooth and consistent thanks to the ball-bearing pivot, and the DuraLock keeps it rock-solid with no blade play. The aluminum handle feels great in hand—light but sturdy—and still looks almost new after months of carry. It’s not just a good-looking knife; it’s a dependable tool. After this much daily use, I can say it’s worth every penny.
