Sporting a lightweight, maneuverable trailing-point blade and an assisted opening system, the Kershaw Asset folding knife is a real boon to your knife collection. The Asset is equipped with a high-quality 8CR13MoV stainless-steel blade, which opens easily thanks to the SpeedSafe ambidextrous assisted opening system and the built-in flipper. With SpeedSafe, the user can smoothly and easily deploy the blade with one hand, either left or right. This makes the knife ideal for sporting and work situations in which one-handed opening is easier and safer, such as when hunting, fishing, or working with your hands on the job site. The Asset's blade is also heat-treated for high performance, making it strong, hard, and capable of holding its edge extremely well. And users will love the Asset's textured, glass-filled nylon handle, which provides a secure grip every time. The Asset also comes with a Kershaw pocket clip, which is meant to be clipped with the handle on the inside of your pocket. The clip is not to be worn on a belt, as this is an unsafe way to carry your knife. About the SpeedSafe System
The patented SpeedSafe knife-opening system helps users open the knife by applying manual pressure to the thumb stud or blade protrusion. The heart of the SpeedSafe system--which is built into many of Kershaw's best-selling knives--is its torsion bar, which keeps gravity from opening the knife. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar moves along its half-moon track and takes over, smoothly opening the blade and locking it into position, ready for use. Although they may look similar at first glance, SpeedSafe knives are not considered switchblades. Unlike a switchblade, SpeedSafe knives do not deploy with the push of a button in the handle or by gravity alone. Instead, the user must manually overcome the torsion bar's resistance, putting the knives outside the federal definition of a switchblade. However, it's the responsibility of the buyer to investigate and comply with the laws and regulations that apply in his or her specific area. Buyers should rest assured, however, that SpeedSafe knives are extremely safe, as they open only when the user manually deploys them, and lock securely into position when open so they don't close accidentally.
