Kershaw Lucid 2036 Folding Knife, 3.20" Stonewashed 8Cr13MoV Blade, Blue Nylon/SS Handle, Pocket Clip

The Kershaw Lucid 2036 is a compact folding knife built for everyday carry and general cutting tasks. With its 3.20-inch stonewashed 8Cr13MoV blade and assisted-opening mechanism, the Lucid deploys quickly when you need it and tucks away neatly when you don't. The blade geometry—a clip point design—handles slicing, detail work, and everyday camp chores with equal competence. It's the kind of knife that earns a permanent spot in your pocket or pack without demanding attention.

The handle balances function and aesthetics in a way that keeps things honest. Blue glass-filled nylon on the front provides texture and grip security, while stainless steel backing adds durability and a touch of refinement. The contoured shape sits naturally in your hand during extended use, and the pocket clip ensures the knife stays put whether you're moving through brush or sitting at the truck bed. Frame lock design locks the blade positively in the open position—a simple, proven mechanism that's been trusted by knife users for decades.

The 2036 doesn't overcomplicate things. A decorative pivot and subtle back handle inlay suggest a knife that's been thought through, not slapped together. At 7.4 inches overall with the blade deployed, it's compact enough for EDC without sacrificing the reach you actually need for real cutting work. If you're looking for a reliable, no-frills folding knife that won't empty your wallet or dominate your pocket, the Lucid delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kershaw Lucid 2036 good for everyday carry?

Yes. At 7.4 inches overall with the blade open, it's compact enough for EDC without being undersized. The pocket clip keeps it secure, and the contoured handle won't fatigue your hand during moderate cutting tasks. The stonewashed finish also resists showing wear and scratches, which is practical if you're carrying it daily.

What kind of cutting jobs is this knife designed for?

The clip point blade and overall dimensions make it suited for general utility cutting—opening packages, light camp tasks, detail work, and everyday cutting chores. It's not a heavy-duty tool knife, but it handles what most users ask of a compact folder.

What's the difference between the blue glass-filled nylon and stainless steel construction?

The blue nylon front scale provides texture and grip, while the stainless steel back handle adds durability and weight balance. This combination keeps the knife lightweight and comfortable without sacrificing structural integrity.

How does the assisted-opening mechanism work?

The blade deploys with a one-handed push using the assisted mechanism, which fires it open quickly. The frame lock then holds the blade firmly in place during use. This makes deployment fast and convenient when you need the knife in a hurry.
