Oso Sweet EDC Pocket Knife for Daily Use

From award-winning technologies and advanced materials to the solid sound of the blade lockup, when you're carrying a Kershaw, you know you're carrying the real thing. Kershaw Sporting Goods creates high-quality, high-performance, exceptional, working tools and knives affordable to all consumers. Kershaw always chooses appropriate, top-notch materials and is dedicated to intensive craftsmanship of hardworking pocketknives, hunting knives, or special collectors' editions.

Kershaw's advanced technology and innovative design combine to create solid, crafted, reliable knives users are proud to carry. Dominating the everyday carry, folding pocket knife market, Kershaw offers incredible bang for your hard-earned buck. Even their inexpensive models are impressive, as everything about a Kershaw is solid, crafted, and reliable.

Kershaw's precision heat-treated 8Cr13MoV steel strongly takes and holds an edge, offering wear resistance that can withstand damage from both abrasive and adhesive wear. This budget-friendly, reliable, top-of-the-line Chinese-produced steel features carbon and slightly less nickel for hardness and edge retention. Kershaw often applies a satin finish to their blade designs, which leaves faint patterns of lines on the steel, reducing evidence of stains and scratches while maintaining the steel's brightness.

Titanium Carbo-Nitride blade coating produces an attractive, sleek black or gray blade coating that increases the blade's hardness and helps to maintain a razor-sharp edge, enhancing the overall lifetime of the blade. The vacuum process is non-toxic and environmentally safe.

Kershaw's revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, fast one-handed blade deployment. Apply manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud with a light push or pull back to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar, and the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure.

Kershaw's frame lock design makes their knives safer, securer, sturdier, and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The knife handle, or frame, has two metal plates on either side of the blade, and when open, the lockbar butts up against the blade's backend to prevent blade closure. To close the knife blade, push the frame to the side to unlock the blade and fold the blade back into the handle.

Kershaw's knives with SpeedSafe open have two options for one-handed blade deployment: pushing a thumbstud or pressing a flipper. The flipper on SpeedSafe assisted knives is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users, and once the blade swings open and locks into place, the flipper either disappears for aesthetics or remains visible for added finger protection.

Stainless steel knife handles offer durability and corrosion resistance, often incorporating etching, patterns, ridges, or lines for a less slippery grip. Kershaw designs pocketclips to fit specific knives according to their weight, intended end use, style, and hardware, with some knives having multiple options and others having a single position pocketclip that can be removed.

In summary, when you're carrying a Kershaw, you're carrying the real thing - a high-quality, high-performance, exceptional working tool or knife that is affordable, solid, crafted, and reliable, thanks to Kershaw's advanced technologies, innovative designs, and dedication to intensive craftsmanship.
