Kershaw describes the Bel Air as an everyday-carry folder and names its reverse-tanto blade. Manual opening uses thumb studs and the KVT ball-bearing system. DuraLock engages a steel crossbar; its release and operation differ from the assisted Link’s liner lock.
What distinguishes model 6105?
The recorded 6105 pairs nickel Cerakote aluminum scales with a BlackWash blade and dark bronze Cerakote hardware. Kershaw lists an extra-deep-carry clip for left- or right-side tip-up carry. The 3-inch blade and 2.9 oz labels belong to this aluminum configuration, rather than every knife sold under the Bel Air name.
What should I check before choosing?
This is the nickel-coated aluminum 6105 with BlackWash blade. Different Bel Air model numbers and handle materials are excluded. Maker descriptions do not establish edge retention.
