Kershaw 2041 Monitor Mid-Size 3" Spear Point Folding Knife, Black Oxide D2 Steel Blade, Textured Glass-Filled Nylon Handle, Pocket Clip Included

The Kershaw 2041 Monitor is a mid-size folding knife built for everyday carry and field work. With a 3-inch spear point blade in black oxide D2 steel, it delivers a piercing tip and keen edge that holds up through serious use. The textured glass-filled nylon handle provides confident grip in wet conditions or gloved hands, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip lets you position it for right or left-hand carry. It's the kind of knife that earns its spot in your pocket without demanding attention—until you need it.

The Monitor's action is smooth and reliable. Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system ensures the blade flips open with minimal effort, and the ambidextrous DuraLock secures it firmly open with a solid steel crossbar. Closing is equally straightforward: just pull the lock back and fold. D2 tool steel is known for holding an edge and resisting wear, so this blade handles repetitive cutting tasks without frequent sharpening. The black-oxide finish gives it a clean, tactical appearance while protecting against corrosion.

Whether you're breaking down boxes, prepping camp meals, or managing day-to-day cutting chores, the Monitor punches above its size. The spear point works equally well for piercing and slicing, making it versatile enough for hunting prep, fishing trips, or job site work. It's manual operation—no springs to fail—and the straightforward design means fewer parts to maintain in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kershaw Monitor good for everyday carry?

Yes. The mid-size profile and reversible deep-carry pocket clip make it practical for daily carry without bulk. The spear point and D2 blade handle typical cutting tasks—opening packages, food prep, outdoor work—without requiring much maintenance in the field.

Can I use this knife left-handed?

The pocket clip is reversible for left or right carry, and the DuraLock safety is ambidextrous. However, the flipper is designed for right-hand opening; left-handed shooters may find thumb opening easier with this design.

How does the DuraLock work?

The DuraLock is a solid steel crossbar that secures the blade open. To close the knife, pull the lock back (it works from either side) and fold the blade down. It's reliable, simple, and requires no springs.

Does it come with a pocket clip?

Yes. The Kershaw 2041 Monitor includes a reversible extra-deep-carry pocket clip that can be configured for left or right-hand carry.
