Description
The Kershaw Brown Boilermaker Flipper Knife (3475) is a testament to skilled metalwork, drawing inspiration from the precise craftsmanship of boilermakers. This all-stainless-steel folder, designed in collaboration with Les George, is built to perform for tradesmen and anyone seeking a distinctive, practical, and reliable pocketknife. Both the blade and the handle feature a cohesive industrial look with a brown, stonewashed PVD coating, offering both aesthetic appeal and enhanced surface protection. A unique handle cutout discreetly reveals the Kershaw logo on the inside of the back handle, adding to its refined detailing.
This knife combines an industrial aesthetic with highly practical, do-it-all functionality. Its 8Cr13MoV quality blade steel ensures good edge retention and corrosion resistance, while the brown PVD coating and stonewashed finish provide a rugged appearance and added durability. Jimping on the blade's spine offers enhanced cutting control and a secure thumb rest during use. The all-steel handle features a striking criss-cross design, which not only contributes to its unique visual appeal but also strategically reduces the overall weight of the knife. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism ensures quick and effortless blade deployment, a crucial feature for situations where one-handed operation or use with work gloves is necessary. For convenient and secure carry, the deep-carry pocket clip is cleverly anchored in an internal handle pocket and secured with the same screw as the backspacer, preventing any snags when sliding the knife in or out of your pocket. The Kershaw Boilermaker is a robust and dependable tool designed for everyday use, outdoor activities, and demanding work environments.

- Secure Blade Lock-up: A robust frame lock mechanism firmly secures the blade in the open position during use, providing enhanced safety and preventing accidental closure.
- Enhanced Cutting Control: Jimping on the blade spine offers additional grip and a secure thumb placement, allowing for precise control during various cutting tasks.
- Convenient Carry: The deep-carry pocket clip ensures the knife sits low and discreetly in the pocket, while its clever attachment prevents snags, making it easy to carry and deploy.
- Durable Finish: The brown PVD coating with a stonewashed finish on both the blade and handle provides a rugged, appealing look while offering extra protection against wear and corrosion.
