The Kershaw Brace is a small yet capable fixed blade designed for daily use. Its full tang build, smart blade geometry and versatile sheath system make it a great choice for urban EDC, light outdoor tasks or as a reliable backup knife in your kit.

8Cr13MoV blade with Stonewash finish

Steel and geometry

• Steel: 8Cr13MoV stainless 
• Hardness: 57–58 HRC 
• Blade length: 51 mm 
• Blade thickness: 2.75 mm 
• Finish: Stonewash

8Cr13MoV:

• easy to sharpen and maintain;
• stainless and low‑maintenance in everyday conditions;
• holds a working edge well for typical EDC tasks.

Blade shape:

• high grinds provide efficient slicing;
• a pronounced tip is formed by the grind and a false edge on the spine;
• gives a good balance between piercing capability and controlled cutting of packaging, cord, small materials, etc.

Stonewash finish:

• hides scratches and wear marks;
• reduces glare;
• gives the blade a rugged, utility‑oriented look.

Design highlights:

GFN handle:

• durable, glass‑reinforced polymer;
• resistant to moisture, impacts and temperature changes;
• provides a secure grip in different conditions;
• discreet black color matches well with the stonewashed blade.

Sheath and carry options
