The Cathode isn’t ultra-fancy, just ultra-functional.
The tanto blade, measuring 2.25 inches, is great for slicing and piercing.
A touch of style is added by a top grind, while heavy jimping on the spine provides a secure grip—especially when you need to choke up on the blade for detail work.
The blade opens with a flipper and Kershaw's assisted opening, making one-handed opening a breeze.
Since it’s a flipper knife, it’s suitable for both left- and right-handed users.
Designed for craftwork, cutting, slicing, piercing, or chopping, outdoor sports or as a combat weapon, the all-steel Cathode, perfected with eye-catching black hardware and additional jimping, exceeds user expectations.
Kershaw offers everyday carrying knives that can handle any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that enhance hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that prepare you for anything.
