The Natrix is based on Kershaw's brother brand Zero Tolerance's 0770, which itself was inspired by the award-winning ZT0777.
Like other Natrixes, this one features a drop point blade that offers solid performance. But it also offers upgraded D2 blade steel. This high-carbon tool steel is highly wear resistant, tough, and offers excellent edge retention. The stonewashed finish on the blade goes perfectly with its intriguing copper handles. Yes, copper. Since copper is denser than stainless steel, this smaller knife has some heft. And a lot of style too. You'll especially like the look once the handles have earned some patina.
Accessed with the built-in flipper, Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing opening makes it easy to open the knife one-handed. An oversized pivot provides an attention-grabbing detail on the front of the knife, while our patented Sub-Frame Lock secures the blade and provides a dramatic, contrasting line on the back. A decorative backspacer adds another embellishment. And finally, a custom-designed deep-carry pocket clip echoes the lines of a special recess machined into the handle to complete this good-looking knife.
With its smaller size and eye-catching copper handles, the copper Natrix makes a perfect EDC.
Features
Flipper - May be used with manual or assisted opening knives. Tee "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
Manual - There is no mechanical assist, such as SpeedSafe, used to open the folding knife. It opens the classic, old-school way.
Sub-Frame Lock - One side of a lightweight handle, or frame, is fitted with a steel plate integral to the frame; it is the part of the frame that moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use. Sub-Frame Lock knives can be larger and lighter knife yet with an extremely secure lock.
Reversible - Pre-drilled holes in the handle enable the user to change either the tip position or the side on which the knife carries.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.
D2 Tool Steel
This semi-stainless tool steel offers great value, thanks to a high degree of edge retention that can often rival more expensive steels.
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.

Kershaw 7006CU Natrix Flipper Knife 2.75" Stonewashed D2 Drop Point Blade, Copper Handles
This is a solid little knife from Kershaw. The open handle fits nicely in the hand for delicate slicing work and breaking down cardboard, but the small size is a slight handicap when it comes to opening. Depending on your finger placement, you can press down on the liner lock, putting enough pressure on the ball bearing detent to make it difficult to open using the rear flipper. I'm not sure if the larger 7007 or 7008 models would have the same issue. The D2 blade came sufficiently sharp out of the box, needing only a quick stropping to bring it to hair popping sharp. I'm a sucker for knives with copper accents and handles and while this probably won't be a regular edc for me, it is a great little knife for my collection.

Pros: Handle Material
Cons: None
Beautiful, flawed knife
I bought both the 7006CU (the smaller) and 7007cu (the larger) with copper handles. I think they are quite beautiful, especially in solid copper, but the detent ball seems to be “a little” stiff. I have never, in ANY other (mostly high-end) knives, found a flipper to be so unreliable! The tiny flipper tabs hurt my fingers! The 7006 is almost too small to grasp and flip, and the 7007, when I flip it, the end of the clip digs into my fingers.I keep these knives because I still like their unique look, and hope that someday these ball indents will loosen up a bit. Until then, or until I decide to sell them, they will reside in my cabinet much more than in my pocket.

Knife came sharp, looks beautiful as well. Very nice grind on the blade.Biggest con is the size, it is a tiny knife I like my XL Natrix much more for size.I’m not sure if it is supposed to be an assisted knife because it doesn’t open all the way without a flick of the wrist.
