KS-1470ST Kershaw Storm - Partially Serrated Edge
Stormy Weather?
Kershaw's Storms, designed by Ken Onion, are ready to handle just about any task you can throw at them in just about any environment.
Big and bold, the Storm series offers a super-smooth feel and a grip that just won't quit. Knife users will appreciate the Storm's butter-smooth, one-handed manual opening. The blade glides easily out of the handle as the user pushes on the thumb-stud and rotates the blade into position. A frame lock secures the blade in place.
Storms feature a dramatic blade designed for multi-tasking and top performance. Kershaw chose Sandvik 13C26 stainless-steel for the blade to ensure durability, exceptional edge retention, and easy re-sharpening. For extra strength and cutting power, the blades are flat ground to Kershaw's famous "shaving sharp" edge. Both large and medium-sized Storms are available with a standard smooth edged blade or a partially serrated blade.
The Storm series features quality, heat-treated 410 steel handles with black Trac-Tec inserts. The inserts, along with Kershaw's unique handle ergonomics, ensure a super-secure grip. Kershaw CNC-machines each handle to accept these textured inserts - inserts made of the same material skateboarders use to stay securely on their boards even when executing aerial turns and flips. In the Storm's case, the Trac-Tec inserts offer a rough, dry feeling that ensures a solid grip even in the most damp or slippery conditions. All made-in-the-USA Storms also come complete with a reversible / removable belt clip.
In addition to the two blade styles and sizes of the Storm, Kershaw also offers the Rodeo Storm. It's the blade used by professional bull rider Guilherme Marchi and has been emblazoned with his signature and a silhouette of Guilherme riding a bull. The Rodeo Storm is the larger 4.75" Storm and comes with the partially serrated blade - perfect for all the tasks Guilherme has to take care of - whether on the road or back at the ranch.
