The Kershaw Iridium Button Lock is a USA-made manual folding knife designed for everyday carry and practical cutting work. This model pairs the streamlined Iridium profile with an intuitive button-lock mechanism that releases the blade without requiring fingers to cross its closing path. A thumb stud and Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system provide smooth manual deployment, while the tuned detent helps keep the blade secure when the knife is closed. The 3.45-inch plain-edge spear-point blade is made from CPM MagnaCut steel and hardened to 62–64 HRC. Its two-tone treatment combines satin-finished grinds with stonewashed flats, creating a clean appearance while clearly defining the blade geometry. MagnaCut offers a useful balance of edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance for a knife intended to handle routine daily tasks. Contoured black G10 handle scales provide a secure, comfortable gripping surface without excessive bulk, and inset liners contribute structure and balance. An olive-colored backspacer adds subtle contrast and incorporates a lanyard loop for another carry option. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip can be configured for right- or left-side tip-up carry, making the knife adaptable for a broad range of users. Open, the Iridium measures 8 inches overall; it closes to 4.55 inches and weighs 3.5 ounces, giving it full-size utility in a manageable pocket-carry format. Black-oxide handle screws are paired with bead-blasted pivot, clip and clip screws for a coordinated finish. Designed and manufactured in the United States with American and global materials, this Iridium configuration is a refined choice for users who want premium blade steel, straightforward manual operation and a convenient one-handed button lock in a versatile folding knife.
