Kershaw Mini Iridium Black Folding Knife

The Kershaw Mini Iridium in Black brings the Iridium platform into a more compact format, a 3-inch black oxide D2 tool steel spear point blade fitted to a black anodized aluminum handle, closing to about 6.9 inches overall.

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 compact 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 blade manages less cleanly. The black oxide finish coats both blade and handle in a low-glare, corrosion-resistant layer that hides scuffs and fingerprints noticeably better than a bright polish. Kershaw's DuraLock button-lock system secures the blade with a solid, positive click. The compact size and fully blacked-out finish make it an easy knife to carry discreetly every single day without a second thought.

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