Kershaw Iridium Black Spear Point Knife

The Kershaw Iridium in Black Spear Point combines a 3.4-inch D2 tool steel blade with a symmetrical, reinforced point, with a black PVD-coated aluminum handle for a fully monotone, purposeful look.

D2 tool steel is a step up from standard stainless alloys, holding a working edge noticeably longer through repeated cutting thanks to its high carbon content, an advantage in a knife meant for daily use. The spear point blade shape gives piercing strength, a symmetrical, reinforced tip that stays strong under pressure and handles puncturing tasks a curved drop point manages less cleanly. Black PVD coating bonds a hard, corrosion-resistant layer to both blade and handle, resisting scratches and daily wear noticeably better than paint or basic anodizing. At 7.9 inches overall, the Iridium carries with substance without tipping into bulk, striking a balance between blade capability and everyday carry comfort that a lot of larger fixed blades can't match.

Kershaw backs the Iridium with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife shaped around edge-holding steel and a distinctive piercing-focused blade shape. Explore more Work & Utility Linerlocks.
