Description
 

1560 - Whirlwind from Kershaw and Ken Onion, Black Polyimide Handle, Plain Edge Blade 

This Whirlwind Knife from Kershaw and Ken Onion is an excellent knife for heavy duty projects. Its larger handle is uniquely shaped to fit more easily in the hand and the blade is wider to help it cut through most of the obstacles in your way. Plus it's also designed to be as lightweight as possible without sacrificing usability.

Whirlwind's blade is made of Sandvik 14C28N stainless-steel for added strength and rust resistance. The handle is made of molded polyimide for a comfortable and secure grip. Plus the dark blue with black inserts makes this and understated yet attractive knife to own. It comes with a removable stainless steel pocket clip.

The Whirlwind has two excellent safety features for users. The Locking Liner locks the knife blade into position when the blade is fully deployed. You can easily release the locking liner by pressing a spring loaded release. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system makes this knife easy to open so you can take full advantage of the knife's capabilities.

Locking Liner
Locks the blade into position after the blade is deployed. To release the locking liner simply press the spring loaded lock and the blade will easily fold back into the handle.

Knife Specifications & Features:

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.

Whirlwind Knife September 8, 2010
Reviewer: Shane Shubert from Lenoir City, TN United States  
This was by far the best knife that I have ever owned. The blade was easy to sharpen, and it retained the sharp edge for many,many cutting situations. The one-hand opening action was swift and smooth,making for impressive deployments. Alas, I'm writing this review in the past tense as my Kershaw Whirlwind has disappeared and I'm in the process of replacing it...and it will be replaced by the same knife, accepting no substitutes.
