Stealthy. Smooth. Sophisticated.

The Kershaw Iridium – Black is a bold evolution of the original, blending stealth aesthetics with high-performance functionality. Its sleek, all-black profile makes it a refined choice for everyday carry, while premium materials and thoughtful engineering ensure it’s ready for real-world tasks.

The D2 spear point blade offers excellent edge retention and wear resistance, finished in a black-oxide coating for added protection and a low-profile look. Deployment is effortless thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system and ambidextrous thumb studs. DuraLock technology secures the blade open with a solid steel crossbar, and closing is just as smooth—simply slide the lock back. The black-anodized aluminum handle provides lightweight strength and comfort, while the reversible deep-carry clip ensures discreet, versatile carry.
