## Description

A beautiful mini EDC knife, the Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto combines sleek style with high performance. With a 3” reverse tanto blade made from highly wear resistant D2 high-carbon steel, this blade is made for long term use. Black-oxide blade finish hides scratches and gives the blade an industrial look. Paired with a black-anodized aluminum handle with matching pivot, backspacer and lanyard hole. The DuraLock mechanism securely holds the blade open with a steel crossbar and allows safe closing with a two-sided handle button, while the KVT ball-bearing system ensures smooth blade deployment. Deep-carry reversible pocketclip allows for easy left- or right-hand carry in tip-up position. A perfect blend of style and strength, the Kershaw Mini Iridium is ready to handle whatever the day brings.

Review: Really nice EDC with super smooth action - This is my daily EDC. Super smooth opening. The bearings on it make opening effortless, it almost feels like it is assisted opening (it is not assisted opening though). Blade size is great for everyday use and overall comfortable on the hand. I've had it for 6 months now and it holds an edge really good. The locking release mechanism is solid gives me comfort to fully trust it while using the blade. Only slight hesitation is blade can be slightly slick to hold without any texturing in the scales.
Review: Perfect pocket knife for every day utility. - Perfect companion to my larger version, fits in my watch pocket in jeans, and shorts with smaller pockets. Also, the black clip doesn’t stand out to say, I’m carrying a knife! Build is spot on, sharpness is perfect. Lightweight, but not cheap feeling. Smooth opening and closing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool EDC knife with a bit of Flare
*by R***. on August 28, 2025*

Sweet knife. There are cheaper D2 knives out there, but this one looks less tactical and more premium. The aluminum scales are less grippy that traditional g2 scales, but it's fine if your hands aren't wet. I do wish the body was slightly longer. There is a full-size version, but that one was bigger than I wanted. If you have larger hands and squeeze hard while you're flicking the blade closed, the tip of the blade might graze your palm. It's so sharp out of the box, I didn't realize I cut myself. This isn't the knife I grab when I'm doing heavy work, but I have used it to baton wood while camping. It's not my most practical knife, but it is one of my nicest looking. I don't regret buying it. I like it way more than my Kershaw Leek.
