The Kershaw Gravel assisted folding knife is a compact everyday carry workhorse with a distinctive reverse-tanto blade that combines the piercing power of a tanto profile with genuine slicing belly. At 2.5 inches of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, it's sized right for EDC tasks—work gloves, cordage, food prep, gear repair—without the bulk of a full-size folder. The BlackWash finish and contoured stainless handle wear that working-knife aesthetic while the assisted opening (SpeedSafe technology) gets the blade deployed smoothly with a thumb flick on the flipper. It closes to a trim 3.5 inches and weighs just 2.7 ounces, making it genuinely pocket-friendly.
This is the knife you grab when you want a reliable mid-size blade for camp tasks, field dressing game prep, or just having something solid in your pocket. The frame-lock design holds the blade secure under normal use, and the reversible deep-carry clip configures for either left or right-hand carry, tip-up. Black-oxide hardware (pivot, clip, spacers, screws) resists corrosion and keeps the whole package looking unified and ready for rough work.
8Cr13MoV is a proven stainless blade steel—it holds an edge respectably for the steel type and resists rust in wet conditions and salty environments. It's not a premium exotic, but it's earned its place in thousands of working knives because it performs and doesn't demand babying. The swedge line running the spine gives the Gravel that distinctive "sharky" profile, but more importantly, it reduces weight and adds rigidity where it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kershaw Gravel good for hunting and field dressing?
The 2.5-inch reverse-tanto blade is sized well for camp and field prep work. The combination of a sharp tip and curved belly gives you both precision and slicing capability, making it a practical choice for small game field dressing and camp kitchen tasks.
Can I carry the Kershaw Gravel tip-up and tip-down?
The reversible deep-carry pocketclip configures for either right or left-hand carry in the tip-up position. The clip is not reversible for tip-down carry.
What's included with the knife?
The knife ships as described. A sheath is not included.
