KERSHAW BEL AIR CLIP PNT MICARTA 3"
The Kershaw Bel Air Clip Point Micarta is a USA-made folding knife built for daily carry and utility tasks that demand precision cutting. With its distinctive clip point blade, this 3-inch folder excels at piercing cuts and detailed work—whether you're processing game, preparing food in camp, or handling general EDC chores. The slim profile makes it easy to slip into a pocket without bulk, while the canvas micarta handle in olive delivers both grip and outdoor durability.
Kershaw equipped the Bel Air with MagnaCut blade steel, a modern stainless formulation engineered to hold an edge longer than many traditional alternatives while remaining easy to maintain in the field. The blade opens smoothly via manual KVT ball bearing pivot, and locks securely in place with DuraLock technology—a mechanism designed to keep the blade rock-solid during use. The working finish on the blade hides use marks and scratches better than lighter stonewashed options, so your knife looks good after honest work.
Carry is handled by a reversible deep pocket clip that sits low and discrete in your pack, jacket, or jeans. Whether you're a hunter, angler, camper, or someone who just needs a reliable everyday carry blade, the Bel Air Clip Point offers the kind of refined simplicity that works.
