## Description

The Kershaw Thermite, designed by Rick Hinderer, was introduced last year and has been in-demand ever since. Now we're giving it a new look with our BlackWash finish. BlackWash gives a knife that already-broken-in look-like a favorite well-worn pair of jeans. The coating provides an extra measure of protection for the metal and the BlackWash helps hide any additional scratches you may put on the knife during normal use. What doesn't change is the Thermite's tactical styling and practical performance. Rick Hinderer and Kershaw designed it to give users Rick Hinderer's no-nonsense functionality-but with enough style to be an exceptionally eye-catching knife. BlackWash just makes it more so. The 3.5-in. blade is hollow-ground, providing excellent slicing ability. A flat-ground "spanto" tip offers strong piercing and even prying capabilities. A machined G-10 front scale and a heavily textured backspacer add to the Thermite's striking looks. On the practical side, the back handle is stainless steel with a frame lock and lockbar stabilizer for an always-secure lockup. For easy opening, the Thermite is equipped with SpeedSafe, which can be accessed with the ambidextrous flipper or thumbstud. Kershaw's four-position deep-carry pocketclip offers complete carrying versatility.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally a solid knife at a reasonable price.
*by J***N on December 17, 2015*

First of all just a disclaimer, I expect serious hard work out of my tools, need them reliable, work both indoors and outdoors, hunt, camp, do carpentry, work on cars. This is my goto tool now. I have had one of these knives for almost 2 years. Out of the box it is sharp enough to shave with. If you take care of it and sharpen when needed and sharpen properly, this is a great product and works great. I bought this after I replaced my Gerber that I had for almost 7 years with the exact same model I had before and it broke in 6 months. The gerber felt cheaper and lighter than the one I had for the 7 years prior. This kershaw is all metal, the spring assist is smooth easy to use. It feels and works like it was built to work, work hard and be there when you need it. The belt clip is tough, holds tight and so far hasn't bent when it's gotten caught on something. Great product, I would highly recommend for anyone needing a general everyday knife for work or play and expect it to be ready to go when you need your goto tool. I now have 2 of these and plan on buying at least 2 or 3 more to have as spares, in case Kershaw ends up going cheap one day. I'm sure even 10 years from now still sitting in the box, this knife will be ready for when I need it. Hopefully Kershaw won't switch to plastic junk like my last experience, but I'm hopefully covered for at least 10 years with the 2 I have.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceeded my expectations. Great knife!
*by C***B on March 4, 2018*

I bought this knife in 2014. I wanted a 3 1/2” blade and this was one of the few available here. It was used daily. I used it to cut open feed bags, bags of wood pellets, baling twine, rope, packages, anything that needed cutting. It is solid. Has no side to side wiggle. Opens easily. Locks up solid. This knife could easily be sharpened and took a scary sharp edge. It held its edge well. One thing I liked most is the blade shape. It has a very durable tip with a shape I find useful. Not too big but big enough to use for self defense if one had such horrible luck to need it for that. For a $22 knife it is a great value. A reviewer claimed they were $40. Not sure where he bought his but they are only $22. Unfortunately I lost mine (left it in hotel room. Maid scored big time.) and came here seeking a replacement. I hope they are the same as my original. I thought I read a review that said they discontinued them. That’s disappointing. I have more expensive knives that are not as good. I also bought a Cryo II tonight so it will be interesting to compare.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent campsite/worksite knife at this price point
*by S***U on December 22, 2015*

For the price, this is a five star knife. I was looking for a weekend/beater folder that I wouldn't have to be too careful with when doing odd jobs and when hiking/light camping, etc. This fits the bill perfectly. Very good fit and finish for the price, with outstanding good looks, nice ergonomics (esp. for larger hands like mine), a perfectly centered blade and a decent grind. The blade is a competent slicer and does quite well with things like cardboard, though this steel shouldn't be expected to hold an edge forever, and it doesn't. While a good slicer, it's an excellent carver of wood and stout enough for some prying stress, so it makes a superb campsite or worksite knife--especially since at this price you don't have to worry too much if you do something disastrous. Opening is reasonably quick, though the blade is beefy enough that it's not as quick as some other Kershaws; that's fine by me because it's still fast enough but doesn't have the "switchblade" intimidation factor that a similarly sized knife with lightning speed would have. All in all, a superb design for what it is, and I'd definitely be first in line to buy a version with upgraded steel if Kershaw ever puts one out.
