The Kershaw 8800X PT-1 delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact fixed blade design built for everyday carry and tactical applications. This knife combines corrosion-resistant 3Cr13MoV stainless steel with an ergonomic handle engineered for secure grip retention.
What Makes This Different
The PT-1 features a full tang construction that extends through the entire handle length, providing superior strength compared to partial tang alternatives. The 3Cr13MoV steel offers enhanced edge retention over standard 3Cr13 steel while maintaining easy resharpening characteristics. The textured glass-filled nylon handle scales resist impact damage and provide consistent grip performance in wet conditions.
Key Features
- 2.75-inch drop point blade in corrosion-resistant 3Cr13MoV stainless steel

- Textured glass-filled nylon handle scales with ergonomic contours
- Black oxide coating reduces glare and enhances corrosion protection

The PT-1 maintains sharp cutting edges through extended use while the stainless steel composition resists rust and staining in marine environments.

The balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during prolonged cutting sessions.
