The Kershaw 8300 DuoJet delivers reliable cutting performance with its TiCN-coated 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and matching handle finish. This assisted-opening folding knife combines durability with practical everyday carry features.
What Makes This Different
The DuoJet features Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted-opening mechanism for quick one-handed deployment. The titanium carbo-nitride (TiCN) coating on both blade and handle provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless finishes. The 8Cr13MoV steel offers an optimal balance of edge retention and easy resharpening at this price point.
Key Features
- SpeedSafe assisted-opening system for rapid blade deployment
- 3.25-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with gray TiCN coating
- Clip point blade geometry for versatile cutting tasks
- Matching gray TiCN-coated stainless steel handle scales

Field testing shows the DuoJet handles routine cutting tasks from package opening to light utility work. The assisted-opening mechanism reduces deployment time while maintaining safety through the liner lock system. The TiCN coating resists scratches and corrosion in humid environments, making it suitable for outdoor activities and professional use.
