Kershaw Iridium Rvrse Tnto 3.45" Blk

The Kershaw Iridium reverse tanto folding knife delivers stealth and capability in a compact 3.45" blade designed for serious cutting work. This all-black folder pairs a reverse tanto blade with smooth KVT ball bearing deployment, making it an ideal everyday carry for hunters, campers, and field workers who need reliable edge geometry that transitions seamlessly from piercing to slicing. Whether you're processing game, camp tasks, or general utility cutting, the Iridium's blade shape handles the full range of cuts without forcing awkward angles.

Deployment is buttery smooth thanks to the KVT ball bearing pivot, and the thumb stud gives you confident one-handed opening. Once the blade is out, DuraLock technology locks it positively in place—no wobble, no surprises mid-task. When you're done, simply slide the handle button to safely close the blade and stow it away. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip lets you carry tip-up or tip-down depending on your preference and hand orientation, making the Iridium adaptable to how you actually work.

The all-black finish keeps things low-profile on your belt or in your pack. This is a workhorse folder that doesn't draw attention but gets the job done every time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the advantage of a reverse tanto blade for hunting and field work?

The reverse tanto geometry excels at both piercing and slicing tasks. The initially sharp point cuts through material cleanly, while the geometry of the edge supports smooth slicing motions without requiring you to adjust your grip or hand position—ideal for butchering game, camp chores, and general cutting.

Can I carry this knife tip-up or tip-down?

Yes. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip allows you to orient the knife either way depending on your carry preference and dominant hand, giving you flexibility in how you set it up on your belt or pocket.

How does DuraLock keep the blade secure?

DuraLock is Kershaw's proprietary blade lock that holds the blade firmly in the open position without play or rattle. Once locked, the blade stays put during hard use; you disengage it by pressing the handle button to safely close the knife.

Is this knife designed for everyday carry or field use?

The Iridium is a versatile everyday carry and field tool. Its 3.45" blade and all-black finish make it discrete enough for daily carry, while the reliable lock, smooth deployment, and efficient blade shape make it equally at home on a hunt, at camp, or handling utility tasks at home.
