KERSHAW IRIDIUM BUTTON LOCK 3.45" BK

The Kershaw Iridium Button Lock is a USA-made folding knife built for shooters, hunters, and outdoors workers who need a reliable blade they can deploy and secure with one hand. At 3.45 inches, it hits the sweet spot between utility and packability—small enough for a pocket or gear bag, large enough to handle real camp tasks, field dressing, or cutting cord and gear. The button lock mechanism is the star here: instead of a traditional thumb stud or flipper, a simple press of the button on the spine locks the blade open and unlocks it for a controlled, safe close. No fumbling, no pinched fingers between the blade and handle.

The Iridium runs on KVT ball bearings and a carefully tuned detent that gives you a smooth, predictable opening and a satisfying drop-shut close. The blade is MagnaCut steel finished in a two-tone look that balances function and form. You get a full-grip, contoured G10 handle with an olive backspacer for visual balance and reliable purchase even with wet or gloved hands. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip rides low and secure, ready to live in your shirt pocket or pack without drawing attention.

This is Kershaw's approach to everyday carry: keep it simple, make it work, don't overcomplicate it. The button lock won't require a learning curve—you'll get it immediately—but the fit and finish throughout says this knife was built to earn its keep. Whether you're at the range, in camp, or just need a solid blade on your hip, the Iridium Button Lock delivers straightforward performance without the hype.

Can I close the blade one-handed?
