Kershaw Knives at CritPro

Kershaw has been making knives in Tualatin, Oregon since 1974 and has built one of the strongest reputations in the American everyday carry knife market over five decades of consistent production. Known for combining quality American design with efficient manufacturing, Kershaw consistently delivers knives with smooth action, practical blade geometries, and durable construction at price points that make quality everyday carry accessible to a wide range of users. Their assisted opening knives in particular have defined what a well-made budget to mid-range EDC folder should feel and perform like, setting a standard that competitors at similar price points consistently struggle to match.

The Kershaw lineup is one of the broadest in the production knife market. Assisted opening knives are Kershaw's strongest category, with their SpeedSafe torsion bar mechanism delivering fast, consistent one-hand deployment across dozens of models at every price point in the lineup. Folding knives beyond the assisted opening category cover linerlock, framelock, and manual designs in slim everyday carry, tactical, and work-oriented configurations. Fixed blade knives from Kershaw cover hunting, camp, and tactical applications with the same quality standards applied to the folding knife line. Ken Onion designed models and collaborations with other respected designers appear throughout the catalog, bringing genuine design talent to production knives at accessible prices.

Kershaw is one of the first brands we recommend to users looking for a quality everyday carry knife that delivers genuine performance without requiring a premium investment. With 74 models in our catalog there is a Kershaw suited for virtually every carry preference, use case, and price point. Ships fast from our veteran owned warehouse in Jesup, Georgia.
