The Kershaw Avalanche is a model suitable for any and all situations requiring a strong and always sharp knife. Released around the same time as the Boa, the Avalanche, like most knives by Kershaw and Ken Onion, include the Speed Safe mechanism for assisted opening. The spring loaded blade action facilitates a smooth quick one-handed opening.
Grip texture and weight are an important aspect of the Avalanche since they are designed to fit perfectly in the hand under any condition. The durable G-10 Sure Grip handles are deeply etched making it possible to maintain a firm grip in both wet and dry situations. The Avalanche plain blade allows for both tip up and tip down carrying. It comes in plain and serrated knife edges with a tungsten blade coating.
The Avalanche is engineered to perform flawlessly time and time again.
