Kershaw Platform
Kershaw, we need to talk. With the Kershaw Platform, you dropped a great looking, modern “slipjoint folding knife with integrated nail clipper and file” info bomb in our laps with no info about when we can have it? Seriously, you can’t tease us like this, and please don’t make us go all Veruca Salt. We need Kershaw Platform is on our lives right now. This thing looks cool as heck. We’ll contain both our impatience and excitement to just give you the facts about this knife. The Platform is a modern slipjoint with steel screws and tube spacers that opens with a straight pull. It has a 2.75” 8Cr13MoV sheepsfoot blade with a blade thickness of 0.108” and a bead blasted finish. The black GFN front handle has a ripple texture that looks both clean and classic. The bead blasted stainless-steel back handle houses an integrated nail clipper and file. (Again, how cool is that?!) It has a handle thickness of 0.5” and weighs 3.8 ounces. It’s 4” closed and has an overall length of 6.75”.

Kershaw Brace
If you’re looking for a new neck knife, the Kershaw Brace is on the way. It’s a small, full tang fixed blade with a 2” 8Cr13MoV drop point blade with a stonewash finish and a blade thickness of 0.108”. Kershaw tells us, “Despite its small profile, the fixed blade has many features that enhance grip, including a curved handle guard design, jimping, and a front handle cutout for an alternate thumb grip.

Kershaw Drivetrain
We’re quite looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh. Kershaw tells us that with the new Drivetrain they’ve “….designed a new, hassle-free seatbelt cutter. It stays within the handle when not in use, but it can be easily deployed without any struggle. When time is of the essence, the handle naturally guides the seatbelt into the cutter, which locks into place with a liner. Kershaw rigorously tested this function to be our best seatbelt cutter yet. As a second option, responders can access the 3.2-inch blade quickly with SpeedSafe assisted opening.” It also comes with a glass breaker and a right carry, tip-up pocket clip. This linerlock has a 3.2” D2 recurved drop point blade. It’s 4.6” closed, 7.6” overall, and weighs 4.2 ounces.

The Kershaw Turismo is a smaller pocketknife with similar tech as the larger Collateral. It has a 2.9” D2 leaf shaped blade that quickly and smoothly opens with a SpeedSafe assisted flipper that rides on a KVT ball bearing pivot.

Kershaw Bracket
The inspiration is clear on the Kershaw Bracket. Kershaw tells us, “The Bracket is an XL version of the original Static cleaver. But rather than a simple size change, it has some fresh additions as well. A new G10 front handle scale is plenty grippy, and its steel pivot overlay adds visual interest. Functionally, the Bracket opens easily with SpeedSafe assisted opening.” This framelock has a 3.4” 8Cr13MoV cleaver blade with a generous forward finger choil. The handle thickness is 0.41”, and it has an ambidextrous, tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole. It’s 4.4” closed, 7.75” overall, and weighs about 4.3 ounces.
