Elegant. Timeless. Practical.

The Kershaw Esteem blends classic slipjoint simplicity with modern design and materials, creating a refined everyday carry that’s built to last. Featuring a non-locking double detent system, the blade is held securely closed for safe transport and opens with controlled precision—complete with a half-stop for added safety.

The 2.5" drop point blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel for reliable edge retention and corrosion resistance, finished in a subtle bead blast for a matte, understated look. The polished G10 and bead-blasted steel handle offers a comfortable grip with elevated style, while bronze PVD-coated hardware adds a touch of luxury. A single-position deep-carry clip and lanyard hole round out this elegant folder, making the Esteem a cherished companion for years to come.
