Kershaw Xcom Manual Folding Knife - 3-3/5" Blade

The Kershaw Xcom Manual Folding Knife with a 3-3/5-inch blade draws inspiration from classic U.S. World War II trench knife design, reimagined as a practical, legal-compliant folder. Developed in collaboration with custom knifemaker Les George, the Xcom combines historical aesthetics with modern tactical functionality. This knife is ideal for utility work, field operations, and everyday carry scenarios where a serious edge tool is essential.

The bayonet-ground blade profile excels at both piercing and cutting tasks, constructed from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, a proven mid-range stainless alloy that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance and ease of maintenance. The Xcom features a single-sided edge geometry, sharpened on one side only, which reduces closure friction for safer handling and makes the knife legal in jurisdictions with restrictions on double-edged blades. This design choice is particularly relevant for professionals and operators in areas with strict blade regulations.

Weighing 0.3 lbs when closed, the Kershaw Xcom remains pocket-friendly without sacrificing blade length or structural integrity. It is engineered for users who need a folder that bridges heritage design with practical legality—law enforcement personnel, outdoor professionals, tactical enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a cutting tool with a unique historical lineage. The manual deployment demands deliberate action, ensuring that users can rely on its performance in critical situations.
