Introducing the Kershaw 1225 Reverb XL, a supersized version of the original Reverb knife. Designed for outdoor activities like hiking and backpacking, this knife offers a larger size without sacrificing convenience.
The Reverb XL features a full 3-inch blade with an upswept design, providing ample belly for efficient slicing. Despite its increased length, the knife maintains a slim profile, making it easy to carry in your pocket without feeling bulky.
Crafted from high-quality 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, the blade is coated with titanium carbo-nitride for enhanced protection. Opening the blade is a breeze with the machined recess on its surface, eliminating the need for a flipper or thumb stud that could catch on objects. The blade securely locks in place during use thanks to the frame lock mechanism.
The front of the handle boasts a blue-gray G10 material, known for its all-weather durability, and features an attractive carbon fiber overlay. On the other side, the back of the handle is made of stainless steel and also coated with titanium carbo-nitride.
For added convenience, the Reverb XL includes a large lanyard hole and a built-in carabiner clip, allowing you to easily attach it to your backpack or harness. Alternatively, if you prefer pocket carry, Kershaw has included an extra deep-carry pocketclip, ensuring the knife stays securely in your pocket during all your outdoor adventures.
