Kershaw - Cathode Assisted Opening Tanto Knife

The Kershaw Cathode is a highly functional knife designed for everyday use, featuring a 2.25-inch American tanto blade crafted from 4Cr14 steel with a handsome stonewashed finish. This knife is engineered for both slicing and piercing tasks, enhanced by a top grind for added style and heavy jimping on the spine for a secure grip during detailed work. Its slim design, a collaboration with Rick Hinderer, ensures ease of use for both left- and right-handed users.

The Cathode's blade opens effortlessly with a flipper and Kershaw's assisted opening mechanism, allowing for simple one-handed operation. The knife's stainless steel handle is cold-forged with a repeating pattern, providing both aesthetic appeal and enhanced grip. This pocketknife is equipped with a reversible pocket clip for convenient carry.
