Description of Kershaw 1955 Showtime Assisted Flipper Knife
The Kershaw Showtime, designed by Todd Rexford, is not exactly a traditional “gentleman’s” knife. This means that it could be exactly what the non-traditional gentleman is looking for.
With its 3″ blade, the Showtime is a convenient size for pocket carry—whether you’re dressed up or down. The blade features a two-toned finish: black-oxide on the grinds and satin-polish on the flats. 8Cr13MoV stainless steel enables the Showtime’s blade to take and hold its edge.
The Showtime opens elegantly with the built-in flipper and the SpeedSafe assisted opening. And there’s no thumb stud to interrupt the clean, streamlined looks.
The handle is steel, black-oxide coated and contoured for a solid grip. In fact, a frame lock ensures secure lock up. The decorative hex pivot enhances Showtime’s showoff good looks. In fact, the pocket clip is reversible for left or right-handed carry and because it’s also a deep-carry clip, carrying is always discreet.
Features
Flipper- May be used on either manual or assisted opening knives.
SpeedSafe- Assists you to open any SpeedSafe knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumb stud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
Moreover, a portion of the handle (the knife frame) moves behind the blade to lock it into position during use.
