The Kershaw Iridium 2038 is a full-size folding knife built for shooters, hunters, and anyone who needs a reliable everyday blade. This folder pairs a clean, modern design with serious cutting performance: a 3.4-inch D2 spear point blade finished with stonewashed flats and satin grinds, all housed in a gray-anodized aluminum handle that's as rugged as it looks. Whether you're field-dressing game, processing gear, or handling camp chores, the Iridium delivers the edge retention and durability you expect from D2 tool steel without the fuss of a fixed blade.
What sets the Iridium apart is its butter-smooth deployment and rock-solid lock. The KVT ball-bearing system makes the blade snap open with barely a flick of the thumb stud, while the DuraLock mechanism—a solid steel crossbar you pull back to close—keeps that spear point locked in place under load. That's the kind of confidence you want when you're working hard in the field or at the bench. The ambidextrous reversible deep-carry pocket clip lets you carry it your way, left or right hand, low in the pocket where it stays hidden but within instant reach.
Details matter, and Kershaw didn't skip them. The bronze-anodized backspacer adds a touch of visual interest without slowing you down, and the lanyard hole gives you one more carry option if you prefer a neck knife setup. At full size, it's substantial enough for real work but still pocket-friendly enough for everyday carry. The two-tone blade finish and stonewashed flats give it a purposeful aesthetic—no gimmicks, just a tool that looks like it means business.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kershaw Iridium 2038 good for hunting and field use?
Yes. The 3.4-inch D2 spear point blade is well-suited to general cutting tasks you'll encounter in the field, from processing game to camp work. D2 steel holds an edge well and resists wear, making it practical for hunting trips where you don't want to fuss with constant sharpening.
Can I carry this knife left-handed?
Absolutely. The pocket clip is reversible, so you can position it for either left or right-hand carry. The DuraLock ambidextrous lock also works from either side.
What does the DuraLock mechanism do?
DuraLock is a solid steel crossbar that secures the blade open while you're using it. When you're done cutting, you simply pull the lock back to safely close the knife. It's a manual lock design that gives you full control over when the blade opens and closes.
