Product Info for Kershaw Brawler 3in Knife 1990
The Brawler starts with a modified tanto blade – a shape often found in tactical and rescue knives that may be required to punch through tough materials. You’ll notice that the top of the Brawler’s blade has a grind, too—a swedge. It helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power. At the same time, the Brawler’s straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, is perfect for bearing down on a task, and is easy to resharpen. All this makes the Brawler an excellent utility and multipurpose knife.
