Kershaw Iridium DuraLock Action - Aluminum AND Titanium!

[@cintage]

Thanks you two, for constantly showing us new models.

[@BirdShotIV]

Thanks for watching 👊

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Best Kershaw they have made in years !!!

[@BirdShotIV]

Definitely a new favorite

[@buckwylde9567]

I bought the Heist and just got the Iridium today. Noticeable difference in build quality, only $10 difference in price. Beautiful knife

[@kwood55981]

I bought one for my dad he really likes it. I really like it but the pocket clip feels weird in my hand when opening it.

[@richardvirchow3390]

I’ve finally put aside enough $$ and ordered a Kershaw Iridium. I thank you for your review. I can’t wait for delivery, it can’t come soon enough!!

[@Knives101]

It's awesome that Kershaw came out with a premium version of the Iridium. Titanium and 20CV for $169 isn't a bad price too. Now if KAI would just get the Zero Tolerance line going again. They haven't came out with anything but the fixed blade (ZT006 I believe). Great video Frankie and Bird!

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

I know! It’s like they don’t know what to do with that line or wanna get rid of it.

[@lag1791]

Same opinion as you. Owned mine for a few months and absoulty love flicking this thing. Have been doing it daily and have never accidently pulled out the lockbar. I wasnt sure about the clip but works great and fit my hands perfect. Detent is not the strongest but has never opened in my pocket after weeks of EDC, unlike my PM2 that just gave me a nice poke. Only negative i have is after about an hour of flicking this thing you will have a nice dent in your finger.

[@Gman1024]

Both are awesome duralock models.

[@joshalmightyblades]

PLEASE TELL KERSHAW TO MAKE THE ALUMINUM IRIDIUM IN DIFFERENT COLORS. BLACK HANDLE, GREEN LANYARD HOLE... ID BUY 10!

[@Federalwaywebbs]

I have the Iridium in titanium and love it

[@kenfaulkner5544]

Just glad to see Kershaws that are not assisted. I am interested in the D2/aluminum version. Not quite ready to pay premium for a Kershaw.

[@BirdShotIV]

You really can’t go wrong with the D2/aluminum model

[@rywar9125]

Mine has a lot of blade play right out of the box. Anyone else have that problem?

[@kenfaulkner5544]

@@rywar9125 I haven't bought or handled one yet but I have seen it on a few channels. Haven't heard of this complaint but maybe try tightening the pivot screw?

[@durango8882]

Hi guys, nice knives. Nothing like a knife show in the park.👍🏻👊🏻

[@BirdShotIV]

It would be super cool to have a dedicated knife show at the park 🤔

Birds edits are soo good like gods miracles ...If you do something right ppl arent sure you done anything at all.

[@PW1687]

Nice knives i remember using phonebooks when i was younger

[@johnschmoyer2443]

I hate to say it but while i think this titanium, 20 CV steel blade is incredible and an amazing addition to the Kershaw family, the standard Iridium meets all my needs and for a great price. I must be getting older or something because everything about this new titanium Iridium screams buy me, but I'm genuinely so happy with the standard i don't think I'll pull the trigger on this new one. Its a testament to how far Kershaw has come. Great job Kershaw!!

[@BirdShotIV]

Agreed the aluminum/D2 model is a lot of knife for that price.

[@P.W.R.]

I was so close to picking up the aluminum Iridium after I got a good paycheck this week, then BAM! Videos everywhere from Metal Complex to BirdShot showing off this Ti version. I had snag one for myself. I still want the aluminum version, but I'll get that one much later now that I locked in an order for the Ti Iridium. In fact, this is exactly what I wanted to see in the Iridium when the original aluminum version released earlier this year, so the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

[@johnschmoyer2443]

@@P.W.R. ohhh you definitely won't be disappointed!! If I were sitting here without that original iridium I'd order this new one without blinking. I'm glad everything worked out for you that you could get one!! Congratulations!!!

[@gregjames9156]

I bought the original aluminum iridium and absolutely love the smooth action. I commented on KZbin that I wished for a premium version and that I would buy it in a second. Luckily, some awesome person responded to me that Kershaw made it... on the 20th. I got one! Thanks, knife enthusiast community! 🤘

[@P.W.R.]

​@@johnschmoyer2443 Yo! Late update here. Thanks! It sold out so fast. Not like Hinderer fast, but still quick for a Kershaw. You were right. It is amazing! The Ti Iridium is sick! Wicked sharp and so, so smooth! Been carrying it with me since it came in the mail. This knife might just turn into my #1 carry. Ain't never selling this puppy. Permanent stay in my collection.

[@Joe_Blo]

A phone book is the manual that comes in the box with a new cell phone. A best seller that no one reads.

Cool review, any chance you guys gonna be doing some urban exploring videos?

We’ve been talking about it again

[@uneCENT]

Is the Iridium an assisted open knife? I got the Sencut Serene lately and hate it, looking for something way more fun.

[@mikereeves1987]

What is your take on the Sog Altar ?

[@bhunt919]

They define should have made the titanium version a production model. A lot of people want one and weren't able to get one.

[@doughester3086]

Have they came out with the titanium one yet??or did I miss it?

[@jeremysuggs8345]

[@timtitus2532]

Been a minute since I bought a Kershaw, used to be a brand that I gravitated to, but I've given most of them away to my kids or co-workers. Lasted purchase was the 5-inch folder with a bowie type blade made out of D2. Hard as hell to deploy because of the frame lock putting pressure during a normal hold. Good video guys, thanks

[@BirdShotIV]

Thanks Tim 👋

Didn't know if you guys were aware that Kizer is having a 10 anniversary sale. Over 150 knives at 50 % off. But you have to order directly from Kizer. Got a Swayback for $29.50 and a mini October for $37.50 and only $5 shipping !

[@No1ANTAGON1ST]

Only mad because i have the aluminum and wish i just waited on the ti

[@rietzhu]

“Scales”.. where😮 😂 Titanium model is over kill. BUT I would say the price is finally, on point. As for scratches it adds character, even the d2 will sustain dings when used. I’ll stick to my og iridium.

[@edcgearpocketknife]

It reminds me of the bug out. But it’s a nice knife especially in titanium

[@BirdShotIV]

Overall they are similar, but the Iridium is more substantial with a different blade style.

[@BrandonGavin_EDC]

Indiana crew represent! I’d love to have seen them anodize the scales with a dark wash or something to try and match the original color, I like the aluminum look better.

[@BirdShotIV]

[@jamesstephenson2346]

They would not do that, as they dont care what "youtube dork #3" likes. The VAST majority of people buying the special edition (on that stupid fucking 3 day sale) WANT it to look different. For prestige. If it bothers you that much, buy both and switch scales, sell the lesser

[@mynamesjustbill1583]

I love the design of the Iridium but mine has such terrible lock rock, I’m a bit gun shy to roll the dice on the premium model. It’s an amazing sale price for 20CV and titanium tho. Decisions decisions.

[@EDCandLace]

Yeah mine does to. In fact everyone of them I have handled has had pretty severe up and down play.

[@mynamesjustbill1583]

@@EDCandLace I hope it’s just something quirky with the initial production run. It’s such a good knife otherwise. I can see it sticking around for awhile in different color ways. I think I’ll skip the premium model this time around. I was really hoping I got a lemon and most of them were locking up solid.

I asked Kershaw on their website what the HRC is, and they replied they’re heattreated to 59-61. That’s crap, even the Chinese D2 is 59-60. This makes the 20CV no better than S30V.
