The Kershaw 6105 Bel Air delivers premium cutting performance with CPM MagnaCut steel and precision engineering for demanding tasks. This folding knife combines advanced metallurgy with tactical design for professionals and enthusiasts who need reliable edge retention. The reverse tanto blade profile excels at piercing and controlled cutting applications.

What Makes This Different

CPM MagnaCut steel sets this knife apart from standard stainless options with superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The blackwash finish reduces glare while providing wear resistance that outlasts standard coatings. Bright nickel Cerakote aluminum handles offer exceptional durability compared to polymer alternatives, maintaining grip texture through extended use.
