1780CB - Rake from Kershaw, G-10 Handle, Composite Plain Edge Blade
The Rake is Kershaw’s newest composite-blade knife. It features tough, wear-resistant D2 on the cutting edge and high-performance Sandvik 14C28N on the spine. The extra-wide blade with its curved belly provides ample slicing and slashing capability. A clipped point preserves piercing power, too. SpeedSafe® assisted opening and a built-in Flipper make the Rake fast and easy to open. Designed by Tim Galyean.
A secure locking liner holds the blade in place securely when opened. No need to worry about the blade slipping out of place. When you are done using the knife you can simply press the spring loaded lock to release the blade for easy folding back into the handle.
SpeedSafe® is the patented, assisted opening mechanism pioneered by Kershaw that makes it fast and easy to open a knife one-handed. SpeedSafe also makes it possible for Kershaw to ensure that even a large blade can move out of the handle just as smoothly and easily as a smaller one. Plus, many of their assisted folders are ambidextrous—and open with a flipper or a thumbstud on both sides of the blade—so they’re just as easy to use left-handed or right. To open a SpeedSafe knife, the user must apply manual pressure to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar. This means that SpeedSafe knives do not meet the definition of a switchblade; they do not deploy with the push of a button or by gravity alone. Once open, the blade locks safely into position until the user releases it.
