For years [Kershaw](kato://content/migrated_pageid_395) has been one of our favourite brands when it comes to affordable pocket knives. It is therefore not that surprising that we couldn't wait to hear more about the newest models and the story behind the origin of the design. This year Kershaw once again delivered. They introduced a wide range of new knives. The best time to take a closer look? Yes, at the 2019 Shot Show!


## The Kershaw Antic, our favourite


One of the new models that really stands out is the Antic. This pocket knife is related to the very popular Kershaw Shuffle. A wonderful EDC knife with an unbeatable price-quality ratio. Kershaw took another look at the Shuffle and built on the design elements that make the Kershaw Shuffle so special. With the Antic we can see that, like with the shuffle, the back of the handle functions as a bottle opener and crowbar. Kershaw once again used this popular combination in the design of the Antic by means of the karambit style ring at the back of the handle. The inside of the ring is enhanced with a small tab and functions as a bottle opener, while the protruding piece at the outside of the ring functions as a pry bar.

Shot Show 2019: the newest Kershaw pocket knives

Large knife shows such as the Shot Show were cancelled. That is why, this year, many product launches are hosted online. Like the one from [Kershaw](kato://content/migrated_pageid_395). We see many new, innovative models. Like the Kershaw Platform with integrated nail clippers in the handle. Or the Kershaw Drivetrain, with a seatbelt cutter that folds out of the handle. There is something for everyone. We also see a lot of pocket knives enhanced with D2 steel. A strong type of steel that is often used on much more expensive knives. So very promising!
