The Bracket is an XL version of the original Static cleaver. But rather than a simple size change, it has some fresh additions as well. A G10 front handle scale is plenty grippy, and its steel pivot overlay adds visual interest. Functionally, the Bracket opens easily with SpeedSafe assisted opening. A large choil allows users to enhance their grip. The deep-carry pocket clip is reversible for right or left carry, and the handle also includes a lanyard hole. Even with its changes, the knife weight is just as balanced the Static. Yet, the Bracket does something different, while remaining a practical and fun cleaver for the collection.
Features
Cleaver-style blade for top cutting performance; plus-size version of the Static
8Cr13MoV blade takes a sharp edge and is easy to re-sharpen when needed; stonewashed finish helps hide use scratches
G10 front handle includes steel pivot overlay; stainless steel back
Opens quickly and easily with SpeedSafe assisted opening and built-in flipper
Included lanyard hole; the deep-carry pocket clip is easily reversible for left/right carry
8Cr Stainless Steel
One of the most common budget stainless steels, it maintains a competitive combination of edge retention and toughness in its price range.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
G10 Handles
Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
Frame Lock
Developed by Chris Reeve, it functions like a liner lock but the lock is comprised of one of the handle scales. It's an extremely strong and easy to manipulate lock.

Pros: Ease of Opening, Overall Quality
Cons: Handle Material
Legit a sleeper knife.
Just picked this up during the Kershaw sale as I’ve always wanted a cleaver blade knife abs couldn’t pass up the sun $40 price tag. Very crisp action. Great feel in the hand. I have some big hands and this fits my bear mitts perfectly. If I could get this with more premium options like a little better blade material and nicer scales it would be the best knife for me.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Handle Material, Pocket Clip
Cons: Lock Type
surprised with it
Really big fan of this knife, had been wanting a cleaver style for a bit, picked this up at a knife shop and really happy with it. the open is quick and due to the weight is really satisfying. pocket clip puts it fairly deep in pocket although a bit does stick up. its fairly thin as well which I'm a fan of, doesn't feel unwieldy or like its huge although you get a really solid knife out of it. overall its a pretty light weight but very solid feeling knife, only downside IMO is the locking type, it is a frame lock over a liner lock which tends to feel better but like functionality of other lock types more.

Knife Center was great to purchase from. Knife arrived a day early from USPS.Knife itself has been great so far. Didn’t arrive that sharp, but that is pretty standard from kershaw. Was easy to sharpen myself and has held an edge fine.Blade shape is really good and the weight of the blade makes the assisted opening very enjoyable. I find myself opening and closing it for fun. G10 handle has been nice too. Overall recommend and I am considering purchasing another for my car
