The Kershaw Atreides is a bold and capable fixed blade built to tackle demanding tasks with strength and confidence. Measuring 11.4” overall, this knife commands attention while still feeling balanced and manageable in hand. Its 5.7” tanto blade is forged from 65Mn carbon steel, a tough, high-performance steel that holds a strong edge and stands up to hard use. The black powder-coated finish not only adds to the knife’s rugged, tactical look but also provides additional corrosion resistance and reduces reflection, making it perfect for field use. The tanto blade shape delivers a strong, reinforced tip for powerful piercing and excellent durability, while still offering a long, straight edge for efficient slicing and cutting.
This is a full-tang knife, which means the blade steel runs the entire length of the handle for maximum strength and reliability. You can feel the durability the moment you pick it up, making it a dependable tool whether you’re in the field, at camp, or preparing for outdoor adventures. A well-designed finger guard ensures your grip stays secure and helps protect your hand during demanding cuts, giving you the confidence to take on tough jobs without hesitation.
The handle of the Kershaw Atreides is crafted with practicality in mind. Made from durable black polypropylene with black rubber overmolds, it provides a comfortable and slip-resistant grip even in wet or challenging conditions. The ergonomic shape fits naturally in the hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. At 8.1 ounces, the knife feels substantial but not cumbersome, offering excellent control and balance. The handle also features a lanyard slot, giving you options for additional security or for attaching your favorite lanyard to personalize your setup.
When it comes to carry and storage, the included black polypropylene sheath is tough, lightweight, and built for convenience. It comes equipped with a belt loop for secure, on-the-go carry so you can keep your knife at your side and ready whenever you need it. The sheath holds the knife firmly in place but allows for a smooth draw, making it practical for outdoor tasks, work situations, or simply as part of your gear lineup.
Whether you’re using it as a utility blade, a camp companion, or just want a reliable fixed knife for everyday tasks, the Kershaw Atreides delivers strength, sharpness, and dependable performance. Its combination of carbon steel toughness, tactical design, and ergonomic comfort make it a versatile option for those who appreciate a tool that’s built to work as hard as they do.
