Kershaw 2062ST Analyst Linerlock Folding Knife

The Kershaw Analyst is built for demanding cutting tasks, a 3.25-inch BlackWash-finished 8Cr13MoV tanto blade with partial serrations, fitted to a black Glass-Reinforced nylon handle for a knife that leans hard into practical capability.

The tanto blade shape gives piercing strength, a reinforced tip and high point angle that push through tougher material, dense packaging, layered fabric, thick rope, that a standard drop point can struggle with. Partial serrations along part of the edge add bite against fibrous material like webbing or cord, giving the Analyst two distinct cutting capabilities in one blade. The BlackWash finish hides scuffs and fingerprints noticeably better than a bright polish, and the extended tang opening point delivers fast, reliable one-handed deployment. A liner lock holds the blade securely open through use. At 4.25 inches closed, the Analyst carries with substance in hand without tipping into bulk that would make daily carry uncomfortable, striking a balance between capability and practicality that a lot of larger tactical folders overshoot.

Kershaw backs the Analyst with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife built for buyers who want hard-use capability in an accessible EDC package. Explore more Tactical Linerlocks.
