Description
The Kershaw Parley Slipjoint Cleaver Blade Folding Knife (4384) offers a fresh perspective on the traditional folding knife, blending classic slipjoint functionality with a highly practical cleaver blade. This unique combination makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of everyday cutting tasks, from opening packages to light food preparation. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Parley features a 3.1-inch 7Cr17MoV stainless steel blade, known for its ability to maintain a good edge and resist wear. The blade's satin finish provides a timeless aesthetic that complements its overall design.
The handle scales are made from polished canvas micarta, a material celebrated for its comfort, grip, and subtle visual texture. These are beautifully accented by stainless steel bolsters and brass liners, adding both structural integrity and a touch of refined elegance. As a non-locking slipjoint knife, the Parley offers a legal-carry solution in many areas, relying on a robust backspring to keep the blade securely open or closed. Its manual opening via a nail nick and the absence of a pocket clip further underscore its classic pocketknife identity. A lanyard hole with a brass trim ring is included, allowing for alternative carry methods.
