Purpose-built for emergencies — the Barricade is a rescue-ready assisted opener with safety tools built in.

The Kershaw Barricade (KS8650) is designed as a multifunctional rescue knife that combines everyday cutting utility with life-saving features. Its 3.5″ black-finished drop point blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, offering solid edge performance and easy maintenance. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system ensures fast, one-handed deployment via the thumb stud or extended tang. The standout feature is its bright orange textured GRN handle, which not only provides excellent grip but also makes the knife easy to spot in an emergency. Integrated into the handle are a seatbelt cutter and a carbide glass breaker, making the Barricade a reliable tool for first responders, drivers, or anyone who values preparedness.
