Kershaw’s Flipper and Assisted-Opening Pocket Knives Are Slashed Up to 49% for Prime Day

2 min readWith every Prime Day comes plenty of pocket knife deals. But we can’t remember ever seeing a particular brand discount so many of its knives as deeply as Kershaw is right now. We’re talking up to 49 percent off for several of its mainstays, like the Grid, Cryo, and Leek, plus the Iridium—the knife we recommend as the best overall for most people.Kershaw turns out knives that offer excellent edge retention yet are easy to sharpen, and they’re relatively affordable, even at full price. They range from sleek and lightweight styles ideal for EDC to beefier tactical knives, and all are backed by the brand’s lifetime warranty.Shop Kershaw Pocket Knife DealsThe Grid flipper pocket knife is a true multitasker, designed for easy, one-handed deployment, with a modified drop-point blade that is equally adept at slicing and piercing. The blade is made of high-retention 8Cr13MoV that’s capable of holding an edge but isn’t difficult to sharpen. It also keeps the knife’s price point relatively affordable (when it isn’t on sale). The Grid’s contoured titanium carbo-nitride-coated handle looks slightly tactical, yet the blade’s black-oxide coating and dark-matte finish keep it neat and sleek.The Cryo’s drop-point blade is also made of 8Cr13MoV steel, but it has a beefier look than the Grid and it’s more suitable for everyday carry, thanks to a relatively light all-stainless-steel 4.1-ounce weight. The blade’s titanium carbo-nitride coating helps maintain hardness plus it looks great. It opens fast and smoothly (there’s a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle) with slight pressure on the flipper tab or dual thumb studs. Its pocket clip is suited for right- or left-handed carry, either tip-up or tip-down.The assisted-opening Leek is one of Kershaw’s made-in-the-U.S. knives and an excellent choice for EDC at only 3 ounces. The partially serrated blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, known for good edge retention and easy sharpening. Its Cerakote finish adds extra protection against abuse and its pocket clip is designed for reversible carry.With its patterned carbon-fiber handle insert and gray titanium carbo-nitride coating, the Fringe is an assisted-opening pocket knife that’s designed to be seen. Like the Leek, it’s fairly lightweight at just 3.5 ounces, so it’s another good candidate for EDC. It features a 3-inch drop-point blade made out of the same steel as the Grid and the Cryo, and its reversible pocket clip allows for right- or left-handed carry.More Kershaw Pocket Knife DealsBest Overall Pocket KnifeRachel is the Deputy Editor of Reviews for Hearst's Enthusiast and Wellness Group where she supports Popular Mechanics, Runner's World, and Best Products.
