The Cathode isn’t ultra-fancy, just ultra-functional. The 2.25-inch tanto blade is great for slicing and piercing. A top grind adds a touch of style, while heavy jimping on the spine ensures a secure grip—especially when you need to choke up on the blade for detail work. The blade opens with a flipper and our Kershaw's assisted opening, so one-handed opening is a breeze. - , since it’s a flipper knife, it’s perfect for left- or right-handed users.

4Cr14 blade steel with handsome stonewashed finish

History of Kershaw Knives
The knife industry has evolved over the past 50 years, but Kershaw has remained steadfast in its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Founded by Pete Kershaw, an avid outdoorsman, Kershaw began in 1974 in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Originally focused on hunting knives, Pete searched for the best materials and craftsmanship to ensure lasting quality.

Around this time, Kai, a Japanese company with a long history in crafting fine blades, was expanding internationally. Kershaw and Kai joined forces, merging Pete’s quality-focused vision with Kai’s experience in bladed tools, creating a partnership that has endured for decades.

The 1990s marked a new chapter for Kershaw, introducing innovative features like the first liner lock knives in the Liner Action series. With Kai CEO Koji Endo’s support, Kershaw established a USA manufacturing facility to expand production and innovation. Industry-Changing Technology In 1998, Kershaw pioneered the assisted opening mechanism, which revolutionized the knife industry and became a hallmark of the brand. Innovating for Tomorrow Today, Kershaw continues to innovate at its Tualatin, Oregon, facility, creating knives with advanced technology, Kershaw Original designs, and collaborations with top custom makers, constantly pushing the boundaries of knife design and functionality.
