CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Kershaw Iridium Button Lock Folding Knife with a two-tone MagnaCut blade and black G-10 handle takes a proven everyday platform and makes it even more intuitive to use. Proudly made in the USA as part of the Kershaw Originals line, this Iridium is built around smooth operation, clean design, and materials chosen for long-term performance. It’s a knife that feels immediately familiar in hand, yet refined enough to stand out among modern EDC folders.
At the center is a CPM MagnaCut blade, engineered to deliver excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance without compromise. The two-tone finish gives the blade a balanced, purposeful look that pairs well with both work and casual carry. Manual deployment is fast and controlled thanks to KVT ball bearings and a well-tuned detent, while the thumb stud offers easy, consistent one-handed opening. The button lock mechanism keeps fingers safely out of the blade’s path during closing, making the action feel natural, secure, and confidence-inspiring. Once disengaged, the blade drops shut smoothly without effort.
The handle is built from contoured black G-10 with inset liners that add strength while maintaining a slim profile. It offers dependable grip without feeling abrasive, staying comfortable during extended use. An olive backspacer adds subtle contrast and visual depth without distracting from the knife’s clean lines. A deep-carry pocket clip keeps the Iridium discreet in the pocket and is fully reversible for left or right-hand carry, and the integrated lanyard loop provides another carry option when needed.
