Kershaw and custom knifemaker Les George offer a solution by taking inspiration from a classic U.S. World War II trench knife design and turning it into a handy folder. Great for piercing and cutting. A bayonet grind adds to the XCOM’s old-school theme. But Kershaw also kept legal concerns in mind. The XCOM’s quality 8Cr13MoV blade is only sharpened on one side making it safer and easier to close – and making it legal in more areas (check your local laws to be sure). The big 3.6-inch blade opens manually with a built-in thumb disk. for Made of sturdy all-weather glass-filled nylon the XCOM’s grooved handle incorporates a handguard near the blade to help prevent slipping. Exposed liner on the spine has jimping for greater cutting control. An inset liner lock keeps the blade securely open during use and closes easily when you’re done.
