Inspired by the lines of aerospace design, the Norad has landed. The Norad opens with Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system and a flipper. But we reduced the size of the flipper when the knife is closed-and made it disappear altogether when the knife is open. Carbon fiber inserts in the steel handle and an oversized, polished pivot add a modern look, while a custom backspacer with raised jimping provides a secure grip. The big, beefy drop-point blade has a two-toned finish: a hollow in the blade features gray PVD coating and the rest of the blade is machine satin finished.
