New Chance at Winning a Kershaw Knife
Throughout the month of April, you can enter for a chance to win a Kershaw Responder knife, courtesy of BLADE and Kershaw.
Â
– Uses Kershaw’s Flipper opening system
– 8cr13mov stainless steel 3 3/4-inch blade blade with Teflon coating
– Santoprene handle
– Overall length 8 3/4 inches
– Weighs 4.8 ounces

The Responder is built to handle everything from extreme sports to rescue situations.
The Responder features a fixed blade with full-tang construction strength and a non-slip, double injection-molded Santoprene handle for a secure grip in any situation—from wet and muddy to cold and icy.
The highly visible neon-handled Responder also features a glass breaker tip. In an emergency, a sharp blow with the carbide tip can crack windshield glass, enabling trapped accident victims to escape.
The partially serrated blade and cutting hook zip through most material with ease, but the tip is rounded for safety.
The multi-function Kydex sheath offers multiple carry options and has both cord eyelets and strap slots.
