KS-1650 Kershaw Vapor II
Want Kershaw's Style & Great Value? GET VAPORIZED.
With its "drilled" industrial design, the Vapor combines high-tech good looks with super-smooth, one-handed, manual opening. Custom knife maker Ken Onion designed the Vapor to provide knife users with advanced style - and at a value price.
Vapors are precision engineered for smooth, easy blade travel. The Vapor blade glides easily out of the handle as the user pushes on the unique, conical-stepped thumb-stud and rotates the blade into position. When the blade is open a portion of the frame moves behind the blade to lock it securely in place. Premium AUS6A stainless blade steel provides an excellent balance of toughness, edge sharpness, and corrosion resistance. For extra strength, the blade is flat ground to Kershaw's famous, "shaving sharp" edge.
But it's the open handle that gives the Vapor its distinctive look. For all purpose strength, the handle is built of heat-treated 410 stainless-steel. Then it's drilled with a series of precision holes along the entire length of the handle. The holes provide the user with a glimpse of the inner mechanical workings of the Vapor - and at the same time, enhance its strong, yet airy look.
The Vapor offers two handsome finishes. For a classic look, choose the pure stainless-steel Vapor - in two sizes and with straight or partially serrated blades. The Black Vapor gives you the same great style, but in classic black. Both blade and handle are coated with Titanium Carbo-Nitride for enhanced hardness, as well as pure good looks.
Like a fresh, spray-laden breeze from a waterfall, the Vapor blows in to vaporize the boring or ordinary in carrying knives. The Vapor offers Ken Onion design and precision performance in an everyday carrying knife that still has plenty of flair.
