The Kershaw 8760 Faultline is a practical folding drop point knife built for the jobs you actually tackle—truck bed repairs, camp chores, gear maintenance, or everyday carry. With a 3-inch blade and compact footprint, it's sized to ride comfortably in a pocket, pack, or toolbox without bulk, yet delivers a surprising amount of cutting edge when you need it. This is the kind of knife that earns its place in your rotation through honest, no-nonsense design.
The Faultline's drop point profile balances versatility with control. The broad, flat blade slices efficiently across a range of tasks, while the subtle clip at the tip gives you good piercing capability for detail work—everything from opening packages to processing game. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel holds an edge well and resists corrosion, a proven steel choice for field knives that need durability without demanding constant maintenance. A black oxide coating gives the blade a matte finish that reduces glint and adds an extra layer of protection.
The handle pairs black and olive drab nylon scales with a rubberized textured overmold that stays secure in wet hands or gloved grip. Heavy jimping along the blade spine provides additional grip purchase during demanding cuts. The manual KVT flipper opens fast and smooth one-handed, and a pocket clip is included for secure carry on pants, pack, or gear bag.
