Description

The Kershaw Tumbler Folding Pocket Knife (4038) is a sophisticated and highly functional everyday carry (EDC) tool, meticulously designed by Dmitry Sinkevich. Based on his acclaimed custom “Headly” model, the Tumbler brings a blend of refined aesthetics and practical performance to your pocket. It is crafted to handle a wide range of daily cutting tasks with efficiency and style, making it an indispensable companion for various activities, from outdoor adventures to professional work environments.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Exceptional Blade Performance: Features a 3.25-inch drop point blade made from high-performance D2 high-carbon tool steel. This material is renowned for its superior wear resistance, ensuring the blade maintains a sharp edge for extended periods. Its high chromium content also offers improved corrosion resistance compared to many other tool steels, adding to its longevity. The plain edge is versatile for various cutting applications.
• Ergonomic and Aesthetic Handle: The handle is constructed from durable G10 with a unique, integrated carbon fiber inlay. The carbon fiber is not merely glued on but is an intrinsic part of the G10 material, providing remarkable durability and a premium feel. The handle is precisely machined to echo the distinctive lines of Sinkevich’s original custom design, offering both a comfortable and secure grip.
• Smooth and Rapid Deployment: Equipped with Kershaw’s KVT (Kershaw Velocity Technology) ball-bearing system, the blade opens with exceptional smoothness and speed using a manual flipper. This ensures quick and reliable access to the blade whenever needed, enhancing usability.

2. Locate the Flipper: Identify the small protrusion (flipper) on the spine side of the blade near the pivot.
3. Initiate Opening: Place your index finger on the flipper. Apply downward pressure and a quick, deliberate flicking motion away from the handle.
4. Blade Deployment: The KVT ball-bearing system will allow the blade to smoothly rotate out of the handle and into the open position.

8. Fold Blade: Carefully fold the blade back into the handle groove, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade’s path. The blade should recess fully into the handle.
