[Kershaw] Natrix XL Copper Sub Framelock

The wavy lines of the 0777 are immediately recognizable. The round groove in the blade makes it look really dynamic. The lines of the handle nicely fit the blade and the proportions are spot on.

You open this knife with the flipper. Because of the KVT ball bearings it will run smoothly. When opened the blade is kept in place by the Sub-Framelock. This is a version of the regular frame lock where the lockbar is placed in the handle. KAI USA, the mother company of Zero Tolerance and Kershaw has a patent on this feature.

The handle itself is made from copper. This is cool material that will form its own patina in time. As such each knife will eventually look unique. The grey spring of the Sub-Framelock is in nice contrast with the copper. The blade is made from D2 steel. A tough type of steel that has been popular in the world of knives for years. It retains its sharpness well and is also relatively strong.

Because of its background and appealing design the Kershaw Natrix is a pocket knife that belongs in every pocket knife collection. Because of the story, but also to be used. That is, in the end, what the knife is meant for.
