You want a knife that’s different? You want an Identity. With its black-and-grey coloring, the Identity has a tactical look. But it's a tactical look with a difference.

The broad drop-point blade flows into the patterned handle, which tapers to a slim end. A larger bolster and the unusual texturing on both sides of the handle enable your hand to lock in securely as you grip the knife.

In keeping with its name, the pattern on the handle scales is inspired by a unique part of a person’s identity—the fingerprint. Concentric fingerprint-like circles give the Kershaw Identity an unusual look as well as enhancing grip. The blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel for good edge retention and easy resharpening; black-oxide coating makes it non-reflective, too.

The blade opens quickly and easily with SpeedSafe assisted opening. The handle is steel with a textured glass-filled nylon front scale and machined texture on the back, too. A frame lock makes blade lock up easy and secure. The knife's deep-carry clip is left/right reversible and makes the Identity especially discreet to carry.
