The Kershaw Norad flipper knife draws inspiration from aerospace design, blending style and functionality in a sleek package. This pocket knife opens smoothly with Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system and a flipper, which reduces in size when closed and disappears entirely when open. Carbon fiber inserts enhance the stainless steel handle, adding a modern touch, while the polished oversized pivot elevates the knife's look. A custom backspacer with raised jimping ensures a secure grip during use. The robust, two-tone D2 drop point blade features a hollow gray PVD coating and a satin finish for a distinctive, durable edge.

Kershaw Norad FAQ

The aerospace-inspired Kershaw Norad balances modern aesthetics with robust daily utility. Featuring a hidden flipper tab, carbon fiber handle inserts, and a D2 tool steel blade, this series is built to look as good as it performs.

What blade steel is used on the Kershaw Norad?
The Kershaw Norad series features a blade made from D2 tool steel. D2 offers excellent edge retention and wear resistance, making it highly reliable for everyday tasks. The blade features a two-tone look with a gray PVD coating inside the deep fuller and a satin finish on the flats.
How does the hidden flipper tab work on the Kershaw Norad?
The Kershaw Norad is designed so that the flipper tab virtually disappears into the handle once the blade is fully open. This keeps the knife profile incredibly clean and unobstructed during use, giving it the feel of a non-flipper knife. Deployment remains quick and smooth because the blade rides on Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system.
Can the Kershaw Norad be opened without the flipper?
Yes, you can open the Kershaw Norad using the deep fuller on the blade. Pulling or pushing on the fuller allows for a slower, more discreet manual thumb opening when a fast flip is not appropriate.
What is unique about the Kershaw Norad handle design?
The stainless steel handle features carbon fiber inserts on both sides and a specialized cutout along the lock bar. This cutout creates a small resting place for your fingers, preventing you from accidentally squeezing the frame lock and making the blade harder to deploy.
Is the Kershaw Norad too heavy for everyday carry?
No, the Kershaw Norad is designed to feel lighter in the hand than typical all-steel knives. It features internal weight relief pockets milled into the inside of the handle scales to reduce bulk. Combined with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, this design makes it a comfortable option for daily carry.
