Kershaw 1990 Brawler Assisted Knife

Kershaw 1990 brawler assisted knife. The tanto is an ideal shape for these piercing tasks because there is plenty of metal to support the point, making it stronger than many other blade shapes. You'll notice that the top of the Brawler's blade has a grind, too. This is called a swedge; it helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power. At the same time, the Brawler's straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, is perfect for bearing down on a task, and is easy to resharpen. All this makes the Brawler an excellent utility knife. The Brawler's handle is just as functional. The angled handle curves into the palm of the user's hand. Jimping on the back of the blade offers additional traction. For fast and easy one-handed opening, the Brawler is equipped with SpeedSafe. Just pull back on the flipper and the SpeedSafe assisted opening system takes over, moving the blade out of the handle, ready for use. Sturdy glass-filled nylon handle a secure locking liner, and our four-position pocketclip complete the package.
