A whirlwind, with the patented SpeedSafe action.

A patented, assisted-opening system built into many of Kershaw s best-selling Ken Onion knives. SpeedSafe assists the user to smoothly open the knife with a manual push on the blade s thumb stud or Index-Open system. (Index-Open uses a protruding portion of the blade s finger guard to give the user an alternative to the thumb stud. The user manually pulls back on the protrusion with the index finger to open the blade. )
