The Burst's aggressive, spiked look stands out
That cool blade grind is on a 3-inch blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel that gives you top wear resistance and strength, plus an ability to take and hold a Kershaw-sharp edge. This version offers the additional cutting power of partial serrations to make cutting fibrous material like rope a snap. We also gave this high-performance blade a stonewashed finish for a slightly “roughed up” look that is a perfect compliment to the assertive looks of the Burst. We add even more energy to the Burst with SpeedSafe® assisted opening for fast and easy one-handed opening. That Burst’s handle scales are textured glass-filled nylon. Glass fibers are added to this thermoplastic polymer for additional strength.
Glass-filled nylon is an outstanding handle material, providing wear, abrasion, and impact resistance, and high dimensional stability. A secure locking liner locks the blade open until the user releases it. The Burst’s pocketclip is reversible for left- or right-handed carry.
