The Kershaw Gadsden Two-Blade Slipjoint Knife (Kershaw part no. 4381) brings a traditional two-bladed slipjoint pattern into Kershaw’s modern lineup. It pairs a clip point blade with a spey blade, both cut from 7Cr17MoV stainless steel with added vanadium for extra strength, wear resistance, and toughness, giving the Gadsden a long-lasting edge. The black G10 handle scales are shaped and polished to bring out the material’s natural luster and weave, giving the knife a contemporary look despite its classic pattern. Brass liners and brass rivets add a final touch of class to a knife built as much for collectors as for daily carry.
