Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto Black Overview

The Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto Black (2038RBLK) is the ultimate “blackout” evolution of the Iridium platform, combining tactical stealth with robust durability. Specifically, this folder features a blade crafted from D2 high-carbon tool steel, chosen for its excellent edge retention and toughness. Moreover, the blade is finished with a durable black-oxide coating that eliminates glare and enhances corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the distinctive reverse tanto profile puts extra steel behind the tip, creating a piercing point that is significantly stronger than standard shapes while maintaining a clean, monochromatic look.

DuraLock Action and Reliability

The core of this knife is the ultra-secure DuraLock mechanism. Because the solid steel crossbar engages directly with the blade tang, it delivers a lockup that is incredibly strong and fully ambidextrous for both left- and right-handed users. In addition to its safety, the knife opens instantly with smooth KVT ball bearings and dual thumb studs. Consequently, you can deploy the blade smoothly with one hand, ensuring you are always ready for the task at hand. If you prefer this blade shape but want a two-tone finish, we recommend checking out the Kershaw Iridium Reverse Tanto.

Ergonomic Handle Design

Furthermore, the handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a rigid frame that stands up to heavy daily use. The black-anodized finish matches the blade perfectly, creating a unified, stealthy aesthetic. Additionally, unlike other models in the series, this version features a black-anodized backspacer and matching black hardware, completing the “murdered out” style. As a result, the knife feels substantial in the hand, weighing in at 3.5 ounces for a solid, balanced feel.
