Kershaw Cargo D2 Black Lockback Folding Knife

The Kershaw Cargo is built for buyers who want lockback strength with modern materials, a 3.25-inch stonewashed D2 blade paired with a black Glass-Reinforced nylon handle and a fast thumb-stud opening point.

D2 tool steel is a step up from the carbon or basic stainless steels found in many traditional lockback patterns, holding a working edge noticeably longer through repeated cutting thanks to its high carbon content. A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, one of the most trusted locking styles for its simplicity and strength, requiring a deliberate two-hand motion to close that adds confidence during hard use, since the blade can't accidentally fold shut on the hand the way an unlocked slip joint occasionally can. The stonewash finish handles daily scuffs and scratches without showing wear the way a polished blade would, and the lightweight GRN handle keeps the Cargo comfortable to carry all day without the added weight of a wood or bone handle a more traditional lockback might use.

Kershaw backs the Cargo with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife that blends a traditional lock mechanism with modern blade steel. Explore more Lockback Knives.
