Kershaw Rj Martin Tactical 3.0" Plnb

The Kershaw RJ Martin Tactical 3.0" PlainEdge is a purpose-built folding knife engineered through collaboration between custom knifemaker RJ Martin and Kershaw's blade team. This compact tactical knife delivers versatile drop-point geometry with top and bottom grinds, optimized for fieldwork, jobsite tasks, and EDC scenarios where a right-sized blade matters. The 3-inch cutting edge folds cleanly into a 4-inch handle, creating a balanced package that performs in confined spaces without sacrificing functional reach.

The blade employs 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, a mid-range tool steel favored in tactical and utility knife applications for its edge-holding capability and straightforward maintenance in varied environments. The dual-ground cutting geometry provides controlled edge geometry for both slicing and detail work. The handle features contoured ergonomics designed to reduce fatigue during extended cutting tasks—critical for operators working extended duty cycles or sustained fieldwork. At 0.25 lbs, the knife remains light enough for pocket carry or pack integration without noticeable weight penalty.

This is the knife for users who need a capable mid-size folder without oversizing for daily carry. The RJ Martin Tactical 3.0 suits law enforcement, military personnel, outdoor professionals, and serious EDC practitioners who value blade geometry rooted in custom knife design but need affordability and proven reliability. The plainedge configuration—without serrations—supports precision cuts and easier maintenance in the field. Kershaw's manufacturing ensures consistent quality across every unit, making this a dependable option for rotating through duty gear or maintaining backup knives across multiple carry systems.
