Speed-Safe
What is Speed Safe. It is the patented,
assisted opening system built into many of Kershaw's best selling Ken
Onion knives. Speed Safe assists the user to smoothly open the knife
with a manual push on the blade's thumb stud or Index open system. The
Index Open uses a protruding portion of the blade's finger guard to
give the uses an alternate to the thumb stud. The user manually pulls
back on the protrusion with the index finger to open the blade.
The heart of the Speed Safe system is its torsion bar. Closed, the
torsion bar helps keep the knife closed, Preventing it from being
opened by gravity. In order to open the knife, the user must apply
manual pressure to the thumb stud to overcome the resistance of the
torsion bar. After the blade is out of the handle, the torsion bar
moves along its half moon track and takes over. The blade opens
smoothly and locks into position.
