A tactical workhorse among EDCs needs to stand out, and Kershaw’s strong, compact Faultline more than stands outs in capability, appearance, reviews, design and durability. With a broad, curved belly and clipped point tip, the Faultline slices and pierces without effort. And, thanks to a black oxide coating and functional jimping near the handle plus artistic jimping reminiscent of high-end filework along the back, the Faultline plows through tasks safely with ease. Other stand-out features include its olive glass-filled handle with textured black overmold for secure grip, black pivot and hardware for notable good looks, KVT ball-bearing system to ensure smooth, one-handed opening and steel tube spacers in an open back for less weight, easier maintenance and rigid dexterity. The Faultline’s steel liner lock and deep carry pocketclip contribute to its quality and value, making the Faultline the best beast for anyone wanting rugged and reliable strength during work or play.
