Kershaw 4385 Allegory Dual Blade Traditional Folding Knife

The Kershaw Allegory combines a satin-finished 7Cr17MoV clip and spear blade combination in a two-blade traditional design with a polished black Micarta handle, stainless bolsters for a refined, collector-oriented folder.

7Cr17MoV is a solid stainless steel choice for a traditional pattern, holding a clean edge through regular use while resisting corrosion noticeably better than the plain carbon steels some traditional knives still use. Day to day work goes to the clip blade, while the spear blade's symmetrical, reinforced point excels at piercing tasks the clip blade handles less cleanly. Polished Micarta gives the handle a refined look and feel, smoother to the touch than the jigged bone or wood found on more rustic traditional patterns, and stainless bolsters add durability at the pivot points.

Each blade opens on a nail nick, the traditional way, backed by a slip joint, its spring tension standing in for a mechanical lock. Kershaw backs the Allegory with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, reassurance in a knife built as much for collecting as for daily carrying, whichever purpose its owner has in mind for it.
