Kershaw Collateral FAQ

The Kershaw Collateral blends a futuristic aesthetic with innovative SLT technology to provide a streamlined profile and efficient cutting performance. It features a unique hidden flipper tab and high-performance D2 tool steel, making it a standout choice for modern everyday carry.

What makes the Kershaw Collateral flipper unique?
The Kershaw Collateral uses SLT (Spring-Loaded Tab) technology, which allows the flipper tab to remain hidden when the knife is in the open position. This design creates a sleek, unobstructed profile and prevents the flipper from acting as an aggressive finger guard during use.
What blade steel is used in the Kershaw Collateral?
The Kershaw Collateral series uses D2 tool steel, providing excellent edge retention and a significant performance upgrade over standard entry-level steels. You can learn more about how this material performs in our comprehensive guide to knife steel.
Is the Kershaw Collateral an assisted opening knife?
Yes, the Kershaw Collateral features the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism paired with KVT ball-bearing pivots for rapid deployment. This system utilizes a torsion bar to help the blade fly open easily after the user initiates the flip. You can explore similar designs in our collection of Kershaw assisted opening knives.
What are the handle materials on the Collateral?
The Kershaw Collateral is constructed with stainless steel handles that feature carbon fiber inlays for a premium, futuristic look. The back of the handle houses a sturdy frame lock and a unique, stylish backspacer that follows the flowing lines of the knife's design.
Can the pocket clip on the Collateral be moved?
The pocket clip on the Kershaw Collateral is reversible, allowing for either left- or right-side carry. While it is not a deep-carry clip, its standard positioning ensures the knife is secure and easy to retrieve from the pocket.
What tasks is the Kershaw Collateral best for?
The Kershaw Collateral excels at slicing and piercing tasks due to its 3.4-inch blade with a precise flat grind and a sharp, reinforced tip. Its ergonomic handle and neutral grip make it suitable for both close-up detail work and general everyday carry utility.
