Kershaw Knives: Kershaw Norad Knife, KE-5510
The 5510 Kershaw Norad Knife is a eye catching EDC that features a 3.3 inch modified drop point blade made of D2 steel with two tone satin and gray PVD finish, wide fuller that lessens weight, a notched thumb rest for secure grip, and a low profile flipper (that disappears upon opening) for ambidextrous one hand opening. The stainless steel handle, 4.5 inches closed, has a bead blast finish with attractive carbon fiber inserts, an oversized pivot with KVT ball bearing system for smooth opening, ergonomic chamfered contours, notched back spacer for strength and secure purchase, sturdy frame lock, and a side to side reversible pocket clip mounted at the butt end. The Kershaw Norad Knife has an overall open length of 7.9 inches, and it weighs 5.2 ounces.
From the Kershaw website: Inspired by the lines of aerospace design, the Norad has landed. The Norad opens with Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system and a flipper. But we reduced the size of the flipper when the knife is closed - and made it disappear altogether when the knife is open. Carbon fiber inserts in the steel handle and an oversized, polished pivot add a modern look, while a custom backspacer with raised jimping provides a secure grip. The big, beefy drop-point blade has a two-toned finish: a hollow in the blade features gray PVD coating and the rest of the blade is machine satin finished.
