The Kershaw XCOM Knife features a symmetrical, spear-point blade ideal for piercing and cutting. The stainless steel blade is only sharpened on one side, making it safer and easier to close. The 3.6" blade opens manually with a built-in thumb disk. The handle is made of all-weather glass-filled nylon and incorporates a handguard near the blade to help prevent slipping. The knife also features a reversible, deep carry pocketclip.
