Description
The Kershaw Iridium 2038 is a full-size everyday-carry folding knife built around a 3.4″ spear point blade in D2 tool steel. The blade carries a stonewashed finish on the flats with clean satin grinds, giving the Iridium a modern two-tone look while helping the working surfaces hide everyday wear. Deployment is handled by a set of dual thumb studs for either-hand operation, and the blade is held open by Kershaw’s DuraLock crossbar lock, a sturdy ambidextrous design that snaps securely into place.
The handle is built on gray anodized aluminum scales that keep the knife’s overall weight down to just 3.30 oz while providing a comfortable, contoured grip. A reversible pocket clip is set up for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side, making the Iridium a true ambidextrous EDC folder. At 7.90″ open and 4.50″ closed, the Iridium slots in as a full-size folder with plenty of handle to work with, while D2 steel hardened to roughly 59-60 HRC gives the edge strong retention between sharpenings.
Built for daily carry, the Iridium combines a practical spear point blade shape, premium D2 blade steel, lightweight aluminum construction, and Kershaw’s modern DuraLock crossbar lock into a well-rounded package that works just as well opening boxes and breaking down cardboard as it does handling general outdoor and utility tasks.
