The Kershaw Dividend Composite Olive 3-Inch Knife (Kershaw part no. 1812OLCB) uses Kershaw’s proprietary Composite Blade Technology to join two different steels in a single blade. Bohler N690 sits on the blade’s upper section for its corrosion resistance and exceptional hardness, while CPM D2 forms the cutting edge, bringing wear resistance, toughness, and excellent edge retention where it matters most. The two steels are permanently joined in a toothlike pattern that gives the Dividend a striking, warbird-inspired look. A machined and anodized aluminum handle in olive rounds out a knife built to stand out as much as it performs.
