The Kershaw Ferrite 1557TI is a folding EDC knife , produced in collaboration with renowned knife designer Rick Hinderer. Ferrite 1557TI combines all the elements that should be found in a real edc knife: functionality, comfort of use as well as proven solutions and materials. Proven steel The 84 mm long knife is made of the popular 8Cr13MoV steel, hardened to 57-59 HRC . This Chinese steel has good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6. The 8Cr13MoV steel blade is perfect for everyday use , due to corrosion resistance, good sharpness and easy sharpening, for which a pocket whetstone is enough. Utility blade The blade with a usable spear-point profile is covered with a ceramic coating of titanium nitride , which provides protection against weather conditions, salt water, is characterized by exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance and chemical stability (it does not change color with time). Thanks to the use of a sharp point, concave cut and a long cutting edge with a gentle curvature, the knife has good cutting and penetrating properties, and the blade does not get stuck in the material being cut. The rear part of the spine of the blade has been cut , creating a place for a comfortable finger rest during precise cutting. The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. Comfort of use The blade can be unfolded with one hand in two ways: with a milled flipper or using a double-sided pin , thus enabling the selection of a method according to our preferences. Both solutions are convenient for both right-handed and left-handed users, they also allow for convenient use of the knife with gloves. A mechanism supporting the unfolding of the blade The opening process is facilitated by the SpeedSafe support mechanism . When you press down on the pinball blade or pry the pin, the support mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically unfolds the blade, making the knife ready for use in a fraction of a second . Robust lock The monolithic frame-lock blockade, considered to be one of the most durable locking mechanisms, effectively protects against accidental folding of the blade . The lock, like the flipper and the pin, can be operated with one hand. An eye-catcher is the round stabilizing plate, which prevents the pinball from swinging out too much . Simple and stylish The handle of the knife is made of smooth stainless steel cladding . The manufacturer gave up milling and texturing the handle. The element that provides a stable grip is a two-stage cutout for fingers and a flipper, which, after unfolding the blade, acts as a handguard. The applied titanium nitride coating makes the entire structure of the knife look very modern and attractive . Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is possible thanks to a spring clip, with the possibility of fixing in 2 positions (left and right). The handle also has a hole for attaching a decorative paracord braid, which is very popular among most knife owners.
