Kershaw Dividend - Premium EDC Performance in a Right-Sized Package
The Kershaw Dividend earned Blade Magazine's Best Buy award when it debuted in 2017—and it's easy to see why. This USA-made folder hits that sweet spot where many EDC knives fall short: slim enough to carry without notice, but substantial enough to actually get work done. At 2.8 ounces with a 3-inch blade, it's genuinely pocketable without feeling like a toy when you put it to use.
Composite Blade Technology
The Composite Blade version enhances an already solid design, making it more interesting. Kershaw permanently bonds two steels in a "toothlike" pattern that looks sharp and serves a purpose. The upper blade is made of Bohler N690—a stainless steel known for its ability to hold an edge and withstand moisture. The cutting edge is CPM D2, which brings serious edge retention and toughness to the party. D2 is technically a semi-stainless tool steel, so you get that wear resistance without going full carbon steel.
This isn't just a gimmick. The pairing places corrosion resistance where the blade spine is most exposed, while concentrating the edge-holding steel directly at the cutting edge, where it matters. The bead-blasted finish ties it together with that warbird-inspired look while hiding scratches and wear. Both steels run 59-60 HRC, so you're working with properly heat-treated steel that'll hold up.
Built for Daily Carry
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with an olive anodized finish. The machining isn't just for aesthetics—it provides an actual texture to grip. SpeedSafe assisted opening is smooth and reliable through the flipper, and the liner lock engages solidly. The 4-position deep-carry clip is one of those details that matters more than people think—tip-up, tip-down, left or right, carry it however works for you.
At 4.25 inches closed and 7.25 inches open, the Dividend keeps a low profile while giving you a usable 3-inch blade. The modified drop-point has enough belly for slicing tasks but keeps a functional tip for detail work. Made in Kershaw's Tualatin, Oregon facility, the Dividend proves you don't have to choose between American-made quality and reasonable pricing.
