About

Sometimes, innovation is what you don’t see. For starters, the Collateral flipper stays hidden in the open position, creating a sleek, uninterrupted profile. This flipper takes advantage of both Kershaw's assisted opening and bronze phosphor washers for fast and smooth deployment. With its D2 tool steel, the Collateral is no slouch in the cutting department, either. It stays secure during use with a frame lock. A carbon fiber insert adds a splash of class and contrast to the front handle. With so much to offer, the effectively beautiful Collateral is perfect for those who seek innovation.

  • Sleek, modern Kershaw with hidden flipper in the open position
  • D2 high-carbon tool steel is highly wear resistant, tough, offers excellent edge retention; satin finish with sanded flats
  • Titanium carbo-nitride steel handle finish enhances corrosion resistance; carbon fiber front insert adds contrast
  • Opens quickly and smoothly with Kershaw's assisted opening and bronze phosphor washers
  • Custom backspacer; pocketclip is easily reversible for left/right carry
  • Please note that older models use Kershaw's assisted mechanism with KVT ball bearings. Current production models switched to assisted with bronze phosphor washers.
