With Kershaw, you get incredible value for your money, as even their inexpensive models are impressive. In fact, everything about a Kershaw is solid, crafted, and reliable.

Kershaw Sporting Goods has made a name for itself in the everyday carry, folding pocket knife market by creating high-quality, high-performance, and exceptional working tools and knives that are affordable for all consumers. Kershaw always chooses the appropriate top-notch materials and is dedicated to the intensive craftsmanship of hardworking pocketknives, hunting knives, or special collectors' editions.

Kershaw's advanced technology and innovative design combine to create solid, crafted, and reliable knives that users are proud to carry. The Barricade features a high-performance steel, 8Cr13MoV, which is a budget-friendly, reliable, and top-of-the-line Chinese-produced steel with carbon and slightly less nickel for hardness and edge retention. Kershaw's precision heat-treated 8Cr13MoV steel strongly takes and holds an edge, offering wear resistance that can withstand both abrasive and adhesive wear.

The blade of the Barricade also features an attractive black oxide coating, which is a chemical bath or conversion coating that converts the surface of the blade steel to magnetite. This coating is mainly for appearance, but it also adds some mild corrosion resistance and tends to minimize light reflection from the blade, giving it an attractive, smooth, tactical, and fierce black surface that is highly desirable to knife owners.

The Barricade's fast deployment is achieved through Kershaw's revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system, which uses a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle. This enables smooth, secure, and fast one-handed blade deployment. The user can apply manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud with a light push or pull back to overcome the resistance of the torsion bar, and the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure.

The Barricade also features a secure locking system, using the same SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system, which ensures the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure. Additionally, the knife has a one-handed flipper that is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users, and the glass-filled nylon handle material is very tough, able to take heavy-duty hard use, and offers a secure and stable grip.

Finally, the Barricade includes a convenient pocketclip that can be removed, making it the ultimate value in multi-use rescue blades for everyday carry or storage in every automobile, glove box, tool box, garage, or campsite. The bright orange handle makes the knife easy to find when unexpected emergencies arise, and the carbide tip hard glass breaker and protected sharpened edge make it a versatile tool for auto emergencies and emergency release situations.
