Kershaw Showtime (1955)

The Kershaw Showtime couldn’t be more aptly named. Featuring a striking two-toned blade of satin and black-oxide, showmanship is something this flipper has in abundance. But it’s not just for show—the black-oxide coating helps add corrosion resistance and minimize reflection. Made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the Showtime holds an edge and is easily resharpened. 

Open up the 3″ blade with the flipper and it flicks open fast thanks to the SpeedSafe assisted opening, and locks out with a frame lock. The black-oxide coated steel handle is contoured for a comfortable and solid grip, showing off a stylish hex pivot to enhance its good looks. At only 4″ closed, the Showtime is compact and easy to carry in a pocket with the reversible left/right pocketclip. With this knife in hand, for whatever task is in front of you, it’s Showtime.
