Product Description
The Kershaw Brawler 1990 is a compact, tactical-inspired folding knife designed for everyday carry. Its angular design, practical blade profile, and SpeedSafe® assisted opening give it a distinctive look and quick, reliable deployment.
The 2.625-inch tanto blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and features a black-oxide BlackWash™ finish. The tanto profile provides a strong tip and useful cutting geometry for everyday utility tasks.
The handle combines glass-filled nylon scales with steel liners, providing a lightweight yet durable platform. A liner lock securely holds the blade open, while the reversible pocket clip allows convenient tip-up carry for either left- or right-handed users.
