Kershaw 6105Blk Bel Air 3" Folding Reverse Tanto Plain Blackwash Cpm Magnacut Steel Blade, Black Aluminum Handle
The Kershaw Bel Air 3" is a USA-made folding knife built for serious everyday carry and field work. This reverse tanto blade folder combines premium CPM Magnacut steel with smooth ball-bearing deployment and reliable locking technology, making it a confident choice for hunters, outdoor professionals, and gear-minded users who demand both edge retention and durability in a compact package.
What sets the Bel Air apart is its execution of the details. The blade rides on KVT ball bearings for buttery-smooth opening, while DuraLock technology keeps it securely locked during use. A manual crossbar lock gives you positive control—flip it to deploy the blade, and pull the handle button to drop it shut on command. The reverse tanto profile excels at slicing and piercing tasks, and the black PVD coating protects the steel from corrosion and wear. At just 2.9 ounces, the slim profile disappears in a pocket.
The black aluminum handle and blackwash finish give the Bel Air a low-key, professional look that works anywhere—from the truck to the field to the office. The reversible deep-carry pocketclip accommodates both lefty and righty carry, so you can position it exactly how you want it. CPM Magnacut steel is known for holding an edge exceptionally well, which means fewer sharpenings and more time working instead of maintaining.
