KERSHAW DECIMUS ASSISTED FOLDER

The Decimus is a striking, tactical folder that draws heavy inspiration from the classic Roman Gladius. It is designed for the user who wants a "heroic" aesthetic combined with modern functionality. While its appearance is aggressive and symmetrical, it is engineered to be a practical, fast-deploying tool for everyday carry.

Key Performance Features:

• Single-Edge Bayonet Grind: The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade features a sleek bayonet grind. This gives it a piercing profile similar to a dagger, but with a single sharpened edge for safe utility use and easier sharpening.
• BlackWash™ Finish: The blade and handle hardware are treated with Kershaw’s signature BlackWash finish. This "pre-worn" look not only looks handsome and dangerous but is exceptionally good at hiding scratches from hard use and fingerprints.
• SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening: Deployment is lightning-fast and reliable. By pulling back on the flipper, the internal torsion bar takes over to snap the blade into place instantly.
• Symmetrical Crossguard: This is the standout safety feature of the Decimus. The flipper tab is mirrored by a protrusion on the spine, creating a functional crossguard when the blade is open. This prevents your hand from sliding forward onto the edge during heavy piercing tasks.
• Textured Handle Overlays: The steel handle scales feature glass-filled nylon overlays with a distinct zig-zag texture. This ensures a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions.
