Vortex has teamed up with Kershaw to deliver this Knockout Folding Knife with a black, 3.25", steel modified drop-point blade and an olive-green handle. The "knocked out" section in the anodized aluminum handle has been replaced with a stainless-steel plate to form the sub-frame lock. This steel plate moves behind the blade to lock it open safely and securely. The knife still maintains a light weight for fast maneuvering in survival situations.

The blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel with a matte black DLC coating. The steel offers reliable corrosion resistance and the coating further protects it for greater durability and performance. The Knockout is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening for smooth and simple one-handed blade deployment via the built-in flipper or the thumb stud.

The provided Kershaw deep-carry clip allows the knife to sit all the way down in your pocket, and the handle is drilled for 4-position carrying. The Knockout is made in the USA.
