Great looks, SpeedSafe, and made in the USA

Kershaw made the Turbulence to stay securely in your hand and do just about any cutting task you ask it to.

Until you actually get your hands on the Turbulence, you might not fully appreciate the knife’s shape and grip. When the knife is open, the handle curves off the knife’s spine, then takes a slight downturn. That turn nestles into your hand just about perfectly. But that’s just the first part of the great Turbulence grip. Next, there’s the index-finger contour and the slight slimming of the handle toward the butt, making it incredibly easy to hold onto. And finally, we add textured G-10 scales for good purchase on the knife in all kinds of conditions.

The blade has a very slight curve along the spine and a sharp drop at the point, giving the Turbulence a modified tactical look. The blade has plenty of belly for excellent slicing and general-purpose utility capabilities. The blade steel is high-performance 14C28N and has an easy-care stonewashed finish so scratches don’t show. The Turbulence opens quickly, easily, and one-handed thanks to SpeedSafe assisted opening and the built-in flipper. It locks into place and secures with the locking liner. Includes Kershaw's Tri-Carry clip options.

 

Technical Specifications

  • SpeedSafe®
    Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.

  • Liner Lock
    Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife’s steel “liner,” the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.

  • Tri-carry
    The user may position the pocketclip for tip-up or tip-down carry on one side and one-position carry on the other.

  • Made In The USA
    When you see this on one of our knives, it means the knife was made in our Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.
