Eris has a modified drop-point blade with an attractive top swedge. Made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, Kershaw gives the blade a two-tone finish: stonewashed on the grinds and satin on the flats. 8Cr13MoV takes and holds a good edge, yet resharpening, when the time comes, isn't a pain. Blade access is fast, easy, and one-handed thanks to SpeedSafe assisted opening.
