About the Kershaw Layup

The Kershaw Layup series is a utility-focused design featuring a D2 blade and an assisted opening mechanism. These folders are built for consistent slicing performance and secure handling in various work environments.

How does the Kershaw Layup deployment work?
The Kershaw Layup is an assisted opening knife that uses a flipper tab and KVT ball bearings for deployment. Once you begin to open the blade manually, a spring takes over to finish the action quickly and consistently.
What are the advantages of the D2 steel blade?
D2 tool steel on the Kershaw Layup series offers high edge retention and a hardworking finish. The blade features thin stock and a high flat grind to maximize slicing capability, though users should avoid high lateral stress as D2 is prioritized for edge holding over extreme toughness.
How does the DuraLock mechanism function?
The DuraLock is a crossbar locking system that secures the blade when open and allows for safe closing without placing your fingers in the blade's path. Since the Kershaw Layup is assisted, you will feel some spring resistance while closing the knife to reset the mechanism.
Is the Kershaw Layup comfortable for different hand sizes?
Yes, the handle is made from glass-reinforced nylon with a simple, ergonomic shape that works well for most hands. It includes an orange peel texture to provide a secure grip without causing discomfort during extended use.
Does the Kershaw Layup support deep pocket carry?
The Kershaw Layup series features a reversible bayonet-style pocket clip designed for deep carry. This allows the knife to be buried almost completely in the pocket for a discreet carry profile.
