Kershaw® Bonneville™ Manual DuraLock Folder – 3.20" 14C28N Modified Clip Point – Black Glass-Filled Nylon – 6000
The Kershaw® Bonneville™ Manual Ambidextrous DuraLock Folding Knife in Textured Black Glass-Filled Nylon (6000) is a lightning-fast, high-efficiency everyday carry (EDC) workhorse masterfully engineered to pack maximum hard-use utility into an incredibly lightweight, budget-friendly frame. While standard heavy-duty pocket knives often lean into dense G-10 or bulky steel frames that create uncomfortable pocket drag—leaving owners forced to choose between carrying weight or structural capability—the Bonneville completely overhauls workspace utility. This advanced, American-built folding tool (087171068404) pairs a highly responsive Swedish steel core with a frictionless crossbar lock system, serving as an exceptional primary companion for blue-collar professionals, backcountry hikers, and active daily users.
The structural foundation of this Kershaw Originals masterpiece is built around a thin, high-performance Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel blade. Globally celebrated for its highly refined grain structure and intense chemistry composition, 14C28N is specifically optimized to deliver an exceptional balance of edge retention, impact toughness, and total corrosion immunity while resharpening effortlessly in the field. The defining technical edge of the 6000 blueprint is its specialized **3.20-inch physical cutting edge length ground into a razor-sharp modified clip point blade shape**. Boasting a deep, high-efficiency hollow grind that slices through cardboard and industrial zip-ties with absolute low-drag fluid momentum, the spine terminates in a control-focused, piercing utility tip. The steel is finished in a rugged **stonewashed finish** that effortlessly hides daily workspace scratches, smudges, and hard labor wear lines over long carry lifelines.
The true functional highlight of this compact milestone lies in its dual-deployment versatility and reliable ambidextrous furniture. The handle scales are injection-molded from high-impact, lightweight Black Glass-Filled Nylon (GFN), deeply textured with an anti-slip grain that ensures a locked-in hand purchase under slick, rainy, or high-pressure outdoor conditions without adding unnecessary mass. Hidden inside are solid stainless steel liners that anchor Kershaw's fully ambidextrous **DuraLock mechanism**. Actuated by pulling back the smooth steel crossbar, dual internal springs provide rock-solid lockup while letting you safely drop the blade shut completely one-handed. Driven forward instantly via dual thumb studs or an integrated index flipper tab riding on a frictionless **KVT ball-bearing pivot**, this American-made 2.30-ounce masterpiece delivers ultimate mechanical authority.
Includes: (1) Kershaw Bonneville Manual Folding Knife (14C28N Stonewashed Modified Clip Point Blade / Black GFN Handles), Bead-Blasted Reversible Deep-Carry Pocket Clip, Factory Safety Manual, and Original Kershaw Made-in-USA Retail Box.
*Dual-Deployment KVT Pivot Maintenance Guidance: Because the Bonneville gives you the mechanical freedom to deploy the blade using either the dual thumb studs or the integrated rear flipper tab, the manual pivot rides on low-friction KVT ball bearings. To maintain its lightning-fast hydraulic opening pop, occasionally blow out the handle channel with compressed air to clear away pocket lint, and add a single drop of premium low-viscosity pivot oil directly down the bearing track every few months.
