The Kershaw Dividend 1812OLCB is a plough knife , with a main composite steel , aluminum and SpeedSafe handle mechanism that supports blade opening.The Dividend 1812 model can be simply described as a more practical, comfortable carry version of the Link 1776 knife, but with the same functionality and convenience.Composite steelThe first thing that draws our attention to the Kershaw Dividend 1812OLCB is the distinctive serrated line along the blade where the two grades of steel are worked together.The 75mm long blade is made from a proprietary composite steel, a hybrid of German Bohler N690 hardened in the 58-60 HRC (top of the blade) and chrome D2 steel (cutting edge) range.Unlike standard stainless steel, which contains 13% chrome, N690 has 17% of this element, resulting in much greater corrosion resistance. After hardening, the steel is hardened to between 58-60 HRC, giving the blade the necessary strength and stiffness.The D2 tool steel, which is heavily hardened on the underside, has a very high hardness and wear resistance. For the user, this means long focus and wear resistance.The blade is sandblasted, which covers minor scratches and abrasions caused by use.The wharncliffe blade has an almost straight cutting edge , concave cut and a durable edge , so the cut is smooth and the knife will be perfect as part of your edc.Convenient to useThe blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand using a flipper , so that once removed from the pocket the knife is ready to work immediately.This solution is convenient for both right and left-handed users, and also allows the knife to be used comfortably with gloves on .Easy to unfoldThe opening process is assisted by the SpeedSafe support mechanism . When you press the flipper , the support mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a split second .Blade lockOnce the blade is unfolded, it is securely locked in place with the liner locking mechanism. The steel block strip provides a high level of safety and its operation is very intuitive and comfortable. The reliable lock is an important element that requires the functionality and safety of the folding knife.Aluminium handleThe knife handle is made of 6061-T6 anodized aircraft aluminum casing, which are fixed to steel liners responsible for the rigidity and strength of the structure. The element that will undoubtedly attract the attention of any knife enthusiast is the olive colour of the liners. The anodised coating resists fading, scratching and wear, guaranteeing the knife an attractive appearance for a long time. The profiled shape of the handle and the fine textures make the knife very secure in the hand and very comfortable to use.The back of the handle has a hole for attaching a decorative paracord tail, which makes it easier and quicker to remove the knife from the pocket. The knife can be carried discreetly in a pocket thanks to a profiled clasp that can be mounted in up to 4 positions.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSPage informationBlade profile WarncliffSteel hardness [HRC] 58Blade lock type Liner LockKnife type foldingKnife handle type flipperSteel type stainless steel - N690 ,Carbon - D2 Additional InfoClip for carrying is availableBlade material metal - anodized aluminiumCorrosion resistance highDull resistance shortCut type concaveAssist opening yes, spring-loadedApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 185Blade length [mm] 76Blade thickness [mm] 2.2Weight [g] 82
