The Kershaw Half Ton knife has a 2.5 inch blade made of 8CR13MOV stainless steel that is opened with ambidextrous thumb studs and held in place with a liner lock. The handle is made of glass reinforced nylon with black Santoprene inlays on each side. A cool looking pocket clip is mounted on the pivot end of the knife for easy carrying. What we think you will find so nice about the Kershaw Half Ton is that the price does indeed seem to be about half while having a TON of quality.
