Kershaw Volt Ii 3 1/8" Pln Blk

The Kershaw Volt II 3 1/8" Plain Black is a purpose-built folding knife designed by RJ Martin that transforms the original Volt's concept into a true working tool. Built on an 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade paired with textured black glass-filled nylon scales, this mid-sized folder delivers the versatility and speed operators and outdoor professionals demand in the field. The 3 1/8-inch blade length strikes the critical balance between cutting performance and portability—large enough for serious cutting tasks yet compact enough for everyday carry in duty gear or a pack.

8Cr13MoV stainless steel offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, a proven steel choice for tactical and field applications where blade performance matters under challenging conditions. The Volt II's defining feature is Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system—a simple flipper pull deploys the blade reliably with one hand, critical when your other hand is occupied with gear or a light. The textured nylon scales provide positive grip even in wet conditions or gloved operation, while the blade's geometry handles utility cuts, food prep, or emergency response tasks with equal competence. At 0.25 lbs, the knife remains lightweight enough for extended carry without noticeable burden.

The Volt II is built for users who need a reliable cutting tool without unnecessary bulk—LEOs working patrol, SAR teams, backcountry operators, or anyone who values speed and functionality in a compact design. Its assisted-open mechanism makes it practical for single-handed deployment, while the mid-sized blade avoids the legal ambiguity of larger folders in jurisdictions where blade length is regulated. The combination of proven steel, dependable mechanics, and thoughtful ergonomics makes this knife a legitimate workhorse rather than a showpiece.
