The Kuro’s blade is an Americanized tanto with partial serration and a drop point for strong piercing. The edge provides good slashing capability while the partial blade serration offers versatility for cutting fibrous materials with ease. For speedy, one-handed opening, the Kuro has Kershaw's assisted opening, accessed with the built-in flipper. The ambidextrous flipper works perfectly for both lefties and righties. The handle scales are glass-filled nylon for durability and dimensional stability, even in temperature extremes. The eye-catching pattern on the scales offers additional grip traction and looks like nothing else.
