Review: Becoming my 2nd favorite edc knife I own. - I don't typically consider Kershaw to be all that impressive in regard to ease of action, blade retention, or even aesthetic appeal, obviously the last is strictly subjective to my own preference and can't be taken as anything objectively disagreeable comparatively. That being said, after one of the chefs I worked with picked up the original release with mirror blade and brass liner I was intrigued, the blade design and scales were sleek, edge was definitely sharp and the bar lock offered multiple action options all of which were smooth and fast. I bought the black option the same day from blade hq, and then a 2nd one from desertcart. I work in a kitchen and breaking down boxes, cutting into multiple layers of cater wrapping when new guy gets too ambitious with the plastic wrap, and a myriad number of other needs this knife gets a lot of action daily. After a month of heavy use it's still sharp, I keep my chef knives razor sharp whether it's a honing steal, ceramic, porcelain, or leather strop, and regularly run my knives on whetstones to keep them savage sharp, it's habitual daily ritual, I haven't given this knife the treatment because it hasn't needed it. It will hold an edge, I can't speak to retention for people using the knife for whittling wood or using it to cut carpet, rope, or whatever other things put a strain on the edge more than cardboard, varying spec plastic, and butchers twine. Action is still smooth, and is honestly enjoyable enough to be considered a bladed fidget spinner, it's entertaining and incredibly satisfying to feel the blade lock into place, just a tip if you are using the lock bar to deploy, only hold it down until the blade releases from closed lock position, otherwise you'll run the risk of having it kick back and close or fail to lock into open position on your first swivel, I typically thum flick the stud to open and then only use the lock bar to release and close but whatever your preference is just be aware of that. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for an incredibly reasonable priced edc that offers more bang for your buck than almost any knife I can think of. Does it measure up to a Benchmade bugout, in a lot of ways, absolutely. Obviously blade quality isn't comparable but that's where the 180-300$ price point for a bugout comes in. You could buy 3-5 of these Kershaw for one Benchmade. Just saying... Review: Awesome knife! - Looks great, is extremely sharp! Listen to the directions, do not clip to belt! Very easy to use and deep pocket carry is discreet. Fast deployment and folding. feels great in the hand. ## Features - Stylish design with gray-anodized aluminum handle scale. Measures 7.9 inches opened, 4.5 inches closed. Weighs 3.3 ounces. - DuraLock secures the blade open using a solid steel crossbar; pull the ambidextrous lock back to safely close the knife - D2 high-carbon tool steel is highly wear resistant, tough, offers excellent edge retention; two-tone blade finish with stonewashed flats and satin grinds - Opens easily with KVT ball-bearing system and thumb studs - Deep-carry pocketclip is easily reversible for left/right carry; bronze-anodized backspacer and lanyard hole - Measures 7.9 inches when opened, 4.5 inches when closed.

Otherwise, a very good knife for the price, with a premium feel even compared to a Benchmade, actually much better than a Benchmade. The axis lock and pivot are much smoother than the latter. **Q: Why does the handle feel like plastic?** A: The handle is aluminum on the Iridium if it feels like plastic maybe you have a different model? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Becoming my 2nd favorite edc knife I own. *by D***Y on October 15, 2023* I don't typically consider Kershaw to be all that impressive in regard to ease of action, blade retention, or even aesthetic appeal, obviously the last is strictly subjective to my own preference and can't be taken as anything objectively disagreeable comparatively.

Listen to the directions, do not clip to belt! Very easy to use and deep pocket carry is discreet. Fast deployment and folding. feels great in the hand. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great affordable and tough knife. *by J***. on September 12, 2025* So far I've had the knife for a few months and have yet ti have a problem. The blade is pretty tough and I've put it through its paced. The lockup could be a bit tighter. I don't feel that its unsafe at all. It could just be a little tighter. I bought this knife to carry around as a knock-around knife so i dont beat up my expensive knives too much. It's been in my pocket every day since I bought it. The blade shape is great and is a useful size. The tip is very pointy. Its the first knife ive had with this blade profile and I love it. It seems small and lightweight but has a nice and solid feel. I set it up as I do with every new knife. Adjusted the screws and hinge to my liking and it hasn't needed any adjustment since. Great value for what you get. The blade also stays usefully sharp for a long time. Which is definitely a plus. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kershaw Iridium Folding Pocket Knife, 3.4 inch D2 Steel Blade, DuraLock Locking Mechanism, Pocketclip - Kershaw Appa Folding Tactical Pocket Knife, SpeedSafe Opening, 2.75 inch Black Blade and Handle, Small, Lightweight Every Day Carry - CIVIVI Mini Praxis Folding Pocket Knife, 2.98" D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives C18026C-1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/517329433-iridium-reverse-tanto-folding-pocket-knife-sleek-3-4-inch](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/517329433-iridium-reverse-tanto-folding-pocket-knife-sleek-3-4-inch) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
