Everything about the Faultline says practical, reliable and sturdy. This right-sized knife fits comfortably in the hand but offers a bigger blade than you might expect. The broad blade provides efficient slicing while the clipped point delivers good piercing capability. Made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the Faultline's blade is black-oxide coated for a tactical look while adding an extra layer of corrosion protection. Heavy jimping on the blade back adds additional grip. The handle is olive drab glass-filled nylon with a rubberized, super-grippy and textured overmold. Kershaw adds an inset liner lock, which provides the blade-lockup security of a locking liner with less bulk and at a lighter weight. The knife opens with a flipper and with their KVT ball-bearing opening system. A single-position, deep-carry pocketclip ensures the knife rides securely inside your pocket.
