About this item

  • KERSHAW BRAWLER POCKETKNIFE: The Brawler has a versatile design, making it an excellent utility and multi-purpose knife. A modified tanto blade helps punch through tough materials and a top swedge adds piercing power, all at a value price.
  • TANTO PLAIN EDGE BLADE: Made from 8Cr13MoV blade steel that offers edge-holding capability, strength, and is easily resharpened. The black-oxide coating adds blade protection and helps to hide scratches.
  • LIGHTWEIGHT GLASS-FILLED NYLON HANDLE: The black glass-filled nylon handle features angled curves, contoured to fit in the palm of your hand. Includes a 4-position pocketclip for right/left, tip-up/down carry.
  • DESIGNED WITH SAFETY IN MIND: Equipped with Kershaw’s assisted opening for one-handed release with the built-in flipper. A liner lock secures the blade safely in place to ensure safety.
  • SIZE SPECIFICATIONS: Blade Length: 3in. Closed Length: 4.1in. Overall Length: 7.1in. Weighing in at 3.9oz. Backed by Kershaw’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.


The Brawler starts with a modified tanto blade—a shape often found in tactical and rescue knives that may be required to punch through tough materials. You’ll notice that the top of the Brawler’s blade has a grind, too—a swedge. It helps narrow the blade, adding to its piercing power. At the same time, the Brawler’s straight belly offers excellent cutting capacity, is perfect for bearing down on a task, and is easy to resharpen. Equipped with our assisted opening for easy, one-handed blade release and a four-position pocketclip for versatile carry. All this makes the Brawler an excellent utility and multipurpose knife.
You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything.

Ich habe das Messer jetzt ein paar Tage bei der Arbeit in Gebrauch und es zeigt sich folgendes :Die Klinge ist scharf, kann aber im Lieferzustand ein Nachschärfen vertragen. Öffnen und Schließen funktionieren sehr gut, der Feder-Mechanismus ist Geschmackssache. Das Griffmaterial ist sehr widerstandsfähig. Die schwarze Beschichtung allerdings nicht, hier zeigt sich schnell Abnutzung. Mechanisch macht das Messer eine sehr gute Figur, auch nach starker Beanspruchung ist kein Spiel festzustellen. Ich werde es auf jeden Fall behalten, zumal die Größe sehr taschenfreundlich ist. 10-15 € weniger wäre aber auch nicht schlecht.Update: Nach ein paar Wochen Alltagsgebrauch ist die Feder gebrochen. Zurück gesendet. Verkäufer will Rückerstattung veranlassen. Da auch andere so etwas berichten scheint es sich um einen generellen Fehler zu handeln.

I've purchased three of these over the last 5 years. I only carry one, but I tent to lose them. I'm left-handed so I have it oriented with the clip for a left pocket. As a result, two of them I've lost from a seat belt grabbing them as I get out of the truck. So, one of my favorite aspects is that they are inexpensive.The mechanism to open and close is very smooth. When new, they can be a little tight but the loosen up over time. It snaps open with just an index finger motion and closing is equally easy. Left-handed, it's really easy to close one-handed as the thumb is positioned perfectly to move the locking tab.There are a few minor nuisances: I've had one where one of the two screws holding the clip would no longer stay tight and the blade does lose its edge easily, but these aren't enough to discourage me from buying them. Sharpening is easy enough and only the one knife had an issue with the screw. If you want an inexpensive but very useful clip-it, this is a great one.

For a short summary skip to the bottom. If you want a fair assessment of the sharpness/quality of the knife reading the whole things would be better.For the price I can't knock it. It's smooth when it opens and closes, has a good albeit small clip that isn't too tight, and comes decently sharp. That being said there are some issues. For example, opening with the 'flipper' nub is smooth and has a satisfying click, but using the thumb tacks isn't quite as easy or smooth and doesn't open with the same click. So it seems like the hinge isn't reinforced very well. While the handle does have a good grip I'm not a huge fan of the 'edgy' pattern, but I can't take away points for that because I knew what it looked like when I bought it. It's not too heavy but doesn't feel cheap either. In short, for a little over twenty bucks this is a good knife. I got it to tear down boxes and do other basic work like that, and it does it's job nicely. I can't speak to the longevity of this blade or how well it holds its edge, but really when can you expect at this price point?My main motivation for writing this post was to clear up how sharp the blade is. Some say it's sharp as hell, others say it's incredibly dull, but really the truth is it's neither. Enthusiasts will knock the blade for being dull because they know how to properly sharpen a knife and buy more expensive knives. For those who buy this as their first knife they will say it's sharp as can be because it does cut well. But I want to put this in perspective. This can easily cut through cardboard, thin rope like para cord, and other 'typical' things like that with a little bit of force, but nothing too excessive.But I want to compare this blade to the spyderco tenacious to make a point. These blades are made out of the same steel, but the tenacious was double the price. This blade, from amazon without any sharpening, can shave arm hair (with a bit of force, but nothing too crazy) and easily slice through paper when doing the 'paper test'. It cuts through the same materials listed above with noticeably more ease. But again, it was double the price for the same steel. You can either sharpen this blade yourself, or take it to someone who sharpens blades on the cheap and these knives would be mostly equal in terms of the edge. But would you really spend 5-10 bucks to have someone sharpen a $20ish blade?In short: For the price it's great. Can't complain. It's sharp enough so that it isn't a problem, and the build quality exceeds what I would expect with a knife of this price. But if you have cash to burn and want something that comes really sharp from the factory then look at more expensive knives, and maybe other brands. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I fully expect this knife to have a short life because of it's price, especially if I use it while camping. But if it does break, hey, it was only $20ish bucks.

Das Messer liegt sehr gut in der Hand fühlt sich auch sehr gut an.Jedoch hab ich nach 1 1/2 Monaten eine gebrochene Feder, dass Messer war oft bei der Arbeit etc im Einsatz.Aber das die Feder so schnell bricht hat mich doch sehr enttäuscht.

Der Brawler ist nicht zu groß, um ihn angenehm mit dem Deep-Carry-Clip in der Hosentasche tragen zu können, und auch nicht zu klein, um damit sinnvoll zu schneiden. Der Griff ist gut strukturiert und liegt auch mit feuchten Händen sicher in der Hand. Die Spitze ermöglicht feine Schittarbeiten und die grade Schneide der Klinge läßt sich bei Bedarf leicht nachschärfen. Ein gutes Messer für wenig Geld.Ob die Klinge nur schwarz lackiert oder wie die des schwarzen Kershaw Blur DLC- (Diamond-Like Carbon) beschichtet und damit sehr abriebfest ist, entzieht sich meiner Kenntnis. Ich vermute, daß man wegen einer günstigen Preisgestaltung bei Kershaw in China nur lackiert hat. Die Kershaws aus amerikanischer Fertigung sind wegen des ungünstigen Dollarkurses in Deutschland relativ teuer und tendentiell qualitativ hochwertiger.

Das Messer liegt gut in der Hand, besser, als man es bei der eckigen Form des Griffs vermuten würde. Die Klinge öffnet sehr schnell und arritiert dann bombenfest; da wackelt nichts. Durch die Tanto-Form der Klinge hat diese einen großen, komplett geraden Abschnitt, der gut zum Schaben und Schnitzen verwendet werden kann.Insgesamt ist das Messer groß genug für einen festen Griff, aber klein genug, um nicht unpraktisch zu sein. Außerdem ist der Preis von 40€ für ein Alltagsmesser ideal, denn es ist kein allzu großer Schaden, wenn es doch mal kaputt geht oder man es verliert. Wer also ein Messer braucht, dass wirklich tagtäglich für die Arbeit eingesetzt werden kann und das auch aushält, sollte sich das hier mal genauer ansehen.Kleiner Tipp: Das Messer hat sowohl Knöpfe für das Öffnen mit dem Daumen als auch Flipper zum Öffnen mit dem Zeigefinger. Ich empfehle letzteres, da das Öffnen mit den Thumbstuds nicht besonders bequem ist. Mit dem Flipper funktioniert es aber umso besser.Geeignet für Links- und Rechtshänder.
