Kershaw Iridium Folding Knife Stonewash Reverse Tanto D2/Black Anodized Aluminum KS2038R

The Kershaw Iridium Folding Knife is a modern everyday carry built with clean lines, durable materials, and the kind of performance Kershaw fans expect from a hardworking manual folder. It’s designed for users who want a sleek, capable knife that handles daily cutting tasks with confidence while maintaining a streamlined, lightweight feel in the pocket.

The 3.45” reverse tanto blade is crafted from tough D2 tool steel and finished in a rugged stonewash that helps hide wear from regular use. D2 is well known for its excellent edge retention and durability, making it a favorite for hardworking knives that see consistent action. The reverse tanto blade shape adds extra strength to the tip while providing a long, straight cutting edge that excels at slicing and precision work alike.

Opening the Iridium is fast and smooth thanks to a well-positioned thumb stud that allows for controlled manual deployment. Once open, Kershaw’s dependable Duralock crossbar lock secures the blade firmly in place. This ambidextrous locking system offers excellent strength while also allowing for easy, one-handed closing, giving the knife a fluid and practical feel during everyday use.

The handle is built from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a combination of strength, lightweight carry, and clean modern styling. Its slim profile sits comfortably in the hand while maintaining a confident grip. A stainless steel pocket clip provides secure carry and keeps the Iridium readily accessible whenever the next task appears.

At 4.5” closed and weighing just 3.5 ounces, the Iridium strikes a perfect balance between capability and portability. It’s large enough to tackle serious cutting jobs but streamlined enough for comfortable daily carry.
