Kershaw Covalent (2042)

The Kershaw Covalent (2042) pairs smooth manual opening with practical cutting performance in a mid-size everyday carry knife. Its 3.2-inch D2 drop-point blade features a flat grind for efficient slicing, while the textured glass-filled nylon handle provides a comfortable grip. KVT ball bearings, an ambidextrous DuraLock and a reversible extra-deep-carry pocketclip make this lightweight folder a dependable companion for daily work tasks.
