The Kershaw Bareknuckle DuraLock brings rugged everyday performance to the pocket with a clean, modern design and premium materials. Designed and manufactured in the USA using American and global materials, this manual folder is built to handle everything from daily utility tasks to demanding work around the jobsite.
At the heart of the Bareknuckle is a 3.5-inch modified sheepsfoot blade made from CPM MagnaCut, a premium stainless steel known for its impressive balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The plain edge gives you a versatile cutting surface, while the stonewashed finish adds a rugged look and helps conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use. With a 0.121-inch blade thickness, the Bareknuckle has the substance you want in a dependable working folder without becoming unnecessarily bulky.
Kershaw equips the Bareknuckle with manual KVT ball bearings for a smooth, controlled opening. A thumb stud gives you an intuitive way to deploy the blade, while the DuraLock system provides a secure locking interface designed to keep your fingers safely away from the blade path during operation. It’s a practical combination for an everyday carry knife that needs to be ready when you need it.
The blue aluminum handle adds a bold splash of color while keeping the knife lightweight and comfortable in hand. Measuring 0.45 inches thick, the handle offers a solid grip without creating excessive bulk in your pocket. At 4.74 inches closed and 8.24 inches overall, the Bareknuckle strikes a practical balance between carryability and usable cutting performance. At just 3.4 ounces, it’s light enough for everyday pocket carry without sacrificing capability.
For convenient carry, the Bareknuckle features an extra-deep-carry reversible pocket clip that supports right- or left-handed, tip-up carry. That flexibility lets you configure the knife around your preferred carry style while keeping it discreet and secure in your pocket. The engravable edition also gives you the opportunity to add a personal touch, making this Bareknuckle an especially appealing choice for collectors, gifts, or personalized everyday carry.
Whether it’s opening packages, trimming materials, handling workday chores, or taking care of everyday cutting jobs, the Kershaw Bareknuckle DuraLock delivers premium blade steel, dependable lockup, smooth action, and lightweight construction in a distinctly blue package.
