Description
The Kershaw Norad Folding Pocket Knife (5510) is a well-regarded tool, noted for its blend of modern design and practical functionality. Inspired by the sleek lines of aerospace engineering, the Norad presents a contemporary aesthetic with reliable performance for a variety of tasks.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Smooth Manual Opening: Features Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system paired with a flipper, ensuring the blade opens effortlessly and quickly. The flipper is cleverly designed to be reduced when closed and completely disappear when the blade is open, preventing snags and maintaining a clean profile.
- Superior Blade Material: The 3.3-inch drop-point blade is crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, providing excellent edge retention, substantial strength, and notable hardness, allowing it to maintain a sharp edge through various cutting tasks.
- Distinctive Blade Finish: The blade boasts a unique two-toned finish, combining a gray PVD coating in a hollow section with a machine satin finish on the rest of the blade, adding to its visual appeal.
- Secure Locking Mechanism: A robust frame lock ensures the blade is held firmly in place during use, providing user safety and reliability, while also being simple to disengage with one hand.
- Enhanced Grip and Modern Aesthetics: The handle is constructed from bead-blasted stainless steel with carbon fiber inserts on both sides, contributing to its modern look and offering a comfortable hold. A custom backspacer with raised jimping further enhances grip security.
- Versatile Carry Options: Equipped with a reversible stainless steel deep-carry pocket clip, allowing for tip-up carry on either the right or left side, accommodating different user preferences.

HOW TO USE:
- Grip the Handle: Hold the knife firmly in one hand, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade path.
- Locate the Flipper: Identify the small flipper tab protruding from the spine of the handle near the pivot.
- Initiate Opening: With a quick, downward "light switch" motion of your index finger on the flipper, push the tab away from the handle. The KVT ball-bearing system will assist the blade in smoothly rotating out.
- Engage Lock: Continue the motion until the blade fully extends and the frame lock securely engages, indicated by an audible click. Verify the blade is locked open by gently trying to push it closed.
- Perform Task: Use the knife for your desired cutting or slicing application, always exercising caution.
- Disengage Lock: To close the knife, firmly press the frame lock bar (the part of the handle that moves to the side to meet the blade tang) towards the opposite side of the handle.
- Fold Blade: Once the lock is disengaged, carefully pivot the blade back into the handle groove, keeping fingers clear.
- Secure for Carry: Ensure the blade is fully nested within the handle and place the knife back into your pocket or preferred carry method.
