Kershaw Duster 2.9 in Gray Crossbar Lock Knife

The Kershaw Duster is the compact member of this crossbar-lock group, using a 2.9 in sheepsfoot blade and a 6.75 in overall length. Kershaw makes the blade from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and gives it a stonewashed finish. The gray GRN handle keeps the package light in appearance and easy to distinguish from darker models.

Its sheepsfoot profile puts the emphasis on a broad cutting edge and a less pronounced point than a clip-point or spear-point folder. The crossbar lock secures the blade while leaving the knife in a manual-opening category. A tip-up pocket clip is part of the listed configuration for carry.

The Duster is worth a closer look when you want a sub-3-in blade but still prefer a full-size locking folder format. It is shorter than the Sequence, Broadside, and Airspace, so blade length is the first comparison to make within this group. For more choices related to the Duster 2.9 in, browse folding knives.
