The Kershaw Iridium 2038 is an impressive pocket knife from Kershaw. Perfect for everyday use.

The knife is equipped with Kershaw's DuraLock, which is very similar to the well-known Axis lock. With this lock, you easily close the knife with one hand. Because this lock is in the back of the handle, you unlock the blade without your fingers coming near the sharp edge. The mechanism is very smooth, so the knife has a high fidget-factor.

The slim blade of the Kershaw Iridium is made of D2 steel and has a stunning finish. It's a combination of a matted finish on the grind and a stonewashed finish on the 'flats'. D2 is a strong type of tool steel that has been a part of the knife world for years. It stays sharp for a long time, it can take a beating, and it's easy to sharpen. D2 is not completely stainless so clean it after it comes in contact with moisture. Many people don't mind this small drawback, since the steel offers a lot of advantages in return.
