About

This strongly liner design is barracuda sleek and engineered to provide great tip control. The deep contour toward the back of the blade spine provides a place to rest your finger when choking up on the blade for detailed work. The clipped spear-point style blade looks great, slims the blade for excellent piercing capability, and enhances control. The steel handle is purposely smoothed for an easy pocket carry, but it also features a double finger contour for excellent grip.

  • A slim, sharp design from Kershaw and Rick Hinderer
  • Quality 8Cr13MoV blade steel takes and holds a sharp edge; both blade and steel handle have titanium carbo-nitride coating for unified look and extra protection
  • Quick one-handed opening with Kershaw's assisted opening and flipper
  • Like many of Rick’s custom knives, the Ferrite has  “filler tab” that adds a finished look to front side of the handle
