Iconic gear often comes with a story, and the Kershaw Bareknuckle comes with a good one. Inspired by the original Zero Tolerance 0777, the Bareknuckle takes the original acclaimed design and gives it a sleeker, lightweight profile with excellent materials and a price that won’t break the bank. It puts together the best parts of the 0777 and Kershaw’s user-friendly features, giving you a made-in-the-USA knife with a storied past and solid performance to last.
Just like the original, the Bareknuckle’s 3.5” blade is a beast. Made from Sandvik 14C28N, the steel was developed as a partnership between Kershaw and Sandvik to produce a high-performance, high-resistance steel that can be hardened to 58-60 Rockwell. This gives it a considerably longer edge longevity compared to most steels, which comes in handy as a blade designed for cutting with its long, sweeping belly in a modified, upswept sheepsfoot shape. Deployment comes from a manual flipper tab, utilizing Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system and rotating on an eye-catching, oversized pivot.
The Bareknuckle’s anodized aluminum handles sports its second key feature—Kershaw’s Sub-Frame lock. One side of the handles is fitted with a steel plate integral to the frame that moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. It allows for an extremely secure lock while maintaining a light weight; crucial for larger knives like the Bareknuckle so they don’t weigh you down as an EDC blade. A reversible, deep-carry clip rounds out the knife’s handles, ensuring ambidextrous carry and use for any cutting task.
The Bareknuckle carries with it a legendary history, but it’s more than ready to carve out its own. Pick up Kershaw’s new high-performance, made in the USA EDC knife at the link below.
