The Kershaw Epistle has everything you need in a pocketknife. This good-looking minimalist design is sleek, slim and very easy to carry. The 3" blade is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel a solid, all-around steel that's also easy to re-sharpen when needed. The versatile drop-point blade shape handles most cutting tasks with ease. The blade is bead-blasted to produce a slightly darker blade finish that contrasts nicely with the lighter aluminum handle.
