Kershaw and custom knifemaker Les George took inspiration from a classic US World War II trench knife to create the XCOM. But instead of being a fixed blade, the XCOM is a convenient folder. Like its forebear, it features a symmetrical, spearpoint blade that’s great for piercing and cutting, yet is sharpened on only one side. The XCOM is a tough, durable workhorse.

• Inspired by a classic military knife; now a convenient folder
• 8Cr13MoV quality blade steel, black-oxide coating for blade protection, discrete look; manual open with thumb disk
• Handle is all-weather, glass-filled nylon; handle grooves provide secure grip, built-in handguard helps prevent slipping
• Reversible, deep-carry pocketclip ensures XCOM rides unobtrusively low in the pocket; or loop paracord through the large lanyard hole to help your knife stand out
