Kershaw Bel Air
The Kershaw Bel Air brings CPM MagnaCut to Kershaw's USA-made lineup at a price point that makes premium steel accessible. Kershaw runs the Bel Air's blade at 62-64 HRC, delivering the edge retention and toughness MagnaCut is known for—outperforming S30V and S35VN in edge holding while offering better toughness and easier sharpening than M390.
Kershaw Bel Air Blade Options
The reverse tanto runs 3.1 inches with a reinforced tip built for piercing and controlled cuts. The clip point at 3.05 inches features a curved edge optimized for slicing and detail work. Both ride on KVT ball bearings for smooth, drop-shut action.
DuraLock Crossbar Lock on the Bel Air
Kershaw's DuraLock is a crossbar-style mechanism that uses a steel bar to prevent blade closure until disengaged. Ambidextrous operation, minimal moving parts, solid lockup.
Bel Air Handle Configurations
Reverse tanto models come in aluminum, marbled carbon fiber, or G-10. Clip points feature olive canvas micarta or G-10. The carbon fiber variant weighs just 2.5 ounces, aluminum runs 2.9 ounces, and the XL hits 3.1 ounces. All models include a reversible deep-carry clip for tip-up carry.
Kershaw Bel Air XL
The Kershaw Bel Air XL stretches the blade to 3.4 inches with thicker 0.125-inch stock for heavier cutting tasks, holding the same CPM MagnaCut steel at 62-64 HRC. Textured G-10 handles provide a secure grip. At 4.42 inches closed, it's still pocketable with only a slight weight increase.
USA-made MagnaCut performance in a slim, bearing-equipped folder—the Bel Air has become one of the defining modern models in the full line of Kershaw knives.
