Kershaw Proximal Folding Knife 3.15in D2 Olive G10 DuraLock

Description

The Kershaw Proximal is a manual folding knife designed to provide the control and versatility needed for everyday cutting and routine work tasks. Its 3.15-inch drop-point blade offers a practical combination of tip strength, cutting-edge curve, and maneuverability, making the knife suitable for opening packages, trimming cordage, preparing materials, and handling other common jobs. Kershaw uses D2 blade steel hardened to 59–60 HRC for dependable edge retention, while a stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued appearance and helps make ordinary signs of use less noticeable. Dual thumb studs and KVT ball bearings support smooth one-handed deployment without an assisted-opening mechanism. Once opened, the DuraLock secures the blade and places its operating control along the handle, keeping the user’s fingers away from the blade’s closing path during normal operation. The contoured olive G10 handle provides a shaped gripping surface without making the folder unnecessarily bulky. Gold-anodized aluminum trim around the pivot and a matching backspacer add contrast to the olive handle, while weight-relieved liners help balance strength and carry comfort. At 4.4 inches closed and 7.55 inches overall, the Proximal offers more gripping room than many compact pocketknives while maintaining a practical 3.1-ounce carry weight. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip supports right- or left-side tip-up carry, and the integrated lanyard loop provides another retention or carrying option. Designed and quality controlled in the USA and manufactured in China, this Kershaw Originals model is a versatile choice for customers who want an ambidextrous locking folder with straightforward operation, a durable G10 handle, and a useful everyday blade profile.
