Folding Pocket Knife - Kershaw Brawler Serrated - 1990ST
Kershaw Brawler Tactical Pocket Knife with Partially Serrated Tanto Blade, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, and Ergonomic Glass-Filled Nylon Handle
The Kershaw Brawler Serrated (Model 1990ST) folding knife is one of the most recognizable and dependable tactical tools in its class, engineered to deliver outstanding functionality and durability. Its 7.6 cm blade is crafted from premium 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing excellent hardness and resistance to demanding use. The blade features a modified Tanto profile with a swedge (false edge) along the spine, narrowing the blade profile and significantly enhancing piercing performance. The entire blade is protected by a black-oxide coating, reducing glare while providing additional corrosion resistance.
The defining feature of the Brawler 1990ST is its partially serrated edge, combining a plain cutting section for clean slicing tasks with a serrated section for rapidly cutting fibrous or tough materials. The knife deploys instantly with one hand thanks to the SpeedSafe assisted opening system and integrated flipper. Its lightweight yet exceptionally durable glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle features ergonomic contours that naturally fit the hand for maximum control. One of its most versatile features is the 4-position pocket clip, allowing complete carry customization for left- or right-handed users in either tip-up or tip-down configurations.
Ideal Uses
- Emergency Responders & Rescue Personnel: The modified Tanto blade excels in emergency situations, easily penetrating tough materials, while the serrated section quickly cuts seatbelts, heavy rope, and webbing.
- Everyday Carry (EDC) & Multipurpose Use: An exceptionally robust folding knife for users seeking a dependable pocket tool capable of handling both everyday cutting tasks and more demanding applications.
- Heavy-Duty Work & Job Sites: Ideal for technicians, warehouse workers, and tradespeople. The serrated portion of the blade makes quick work of plastic tubing, thick cardboard, zip ties, and flexible packaging materials.
- Tactical Gear Enthusiasts: With its all-black appearance, aggressive Tanto blade styling, and rapid assisted deployment, it is an excellent addition to any tactical loadout.
Key Features & Benefits
- Partially Serrated Tanto Blade: Dual-purpose functionality combining a plain edge for slicing, a serrated edge for aggressive cutting, and excellent piercing performance.

Tactical Corner Tip: Serrated Edge Care, Black-Oxide Maintenance & Mechanism Lubrication
Maintaining & Sharpening the Serrated Edge: The serrations on the Brawler are highly durable and retain cutting performance much longer than a plain edge when used on fibrous materials. However, when sharpening becomes necessary, never use flat sharpening stones, as they can damage the serration pattern. The correct method is to use a specialized triangular or tapered ceramic sharpening rod. Always sharpen only the beveled side of the serrations (chisel grind), working each individual groove with light outward strokes to restore the original cutting performance.
Cleaning the Black-Oxide Finish & Lubricating SpeedSafe: The protective black-oxide coating is chemically treated and requires proper care. Avoid cleaning it with abrasive pads or harsh cleaners. After use in wet conditions, wipe the blade dry and apply a light coat of maintenance oil using a microfiber cloth. For the SpeedSafe mechanism, pocket lint and debris can slow spring-assisted deployment over time. Periodically clean the interior with compressed air and apply a small drop of quality knife lubricant to the pivot to keep deployment fast and smooth.
