The Kershaw Monitor is a knife that thrives in the balance between everyday carry and tactical readiness. Designed by Kershaw Originals, this sleek folder combines precision engineering with rugged materials, creating a knife that feels fast, smooth, and reliable from the very first flip. It’s the kind of tool that looks as sharp as it performs—compact enough for daily use, yet capable enough to handle demanding situations when every second counts.
The 3-inch spear point blade is crafted from D2 tool steel, a high-performance material known for its exceptional edge retention and strength. D2 brings a level of cutting power and durability that serious knife users rely on, making it ideal for slicing, piercing, and precision cutting. Finished with a black oxide coating, the blade offers additional corrosion resistance and a clean, low-profile look that resists glare and wear. Whether you’re opening packages, preparing gear, or working through tough materials, the Monitor’s edge stays sharp and dependable.
Opening the Monitor is a seamless experience, thanks to Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system. The manual flipper action is incredibly smooth—just a gentle press, and the blade glides open with precision and speed. It’s the kind of motion that knife enthusiasts appreciate, delivering control and responsiveness every time you deploy the blade. The DuraLock mechanism secures the blade firmly in place once open, offering both confidence and strength while keeping the knife’s operation safe and intuitive.
The handle is made from black glass-filled nylon, providing a solid grip that’s lightweight yet durable enough for serious use. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in your hand, with subtle texturing that enhances control even in less-than-ideal conditions. Every element of the knife, from the hardware to the pocket clip, features a black-oxide finish, giving the Monitor a unified, tactical appearance that’s both modern and understated.
Carrying the Monitor is effortless, thanks to its reversible extra-deep-carry pocket clip. It sits low and discreet in your pocket, keeping the knife out of sight until you need it, and it’s reversible for both right- and left-handed users. At just 2.7 ounces, you’ll hardly notice it’s there until the moment it’s time to work.
For those who value personalization, the Kershaw Monitor is engravable—making it a great gift or a way to mark your gear with your own style. Every detail has been thoughtfully executed by Kershaw Originals, a team known for designing knives that blend function, innovation, and everyday practicality.
