Overview
Opening the blade with a flick and folding it back into a stainless handle is how this Kershaw pocketknife works. The reverse tanto shape has a plain edge. The knife is made for either hand and comes in gray.
An ambidextrous layout makes it easy to use whichever hand you favor, and the plain edge is simple to maintain. The light weight suits a pocket. Edge holding is modest, and care means washing by hand.
Who it's for
A pocket or tool drawer is where a small starter knife earns its place for opening boxes and cutting cord. Heavy users who need a harder blade steel should look at a knife that lists one.
Pros and cons
- Works in either hand
- Plain edge is easy to sharpen
- Light for pocket carry
- Lifetime warranty with free sharpening
- Entry level blade steel
- Hand wash only
- No serrated edge
Performance notes
A reverse tanto blade has a strong tip and a flat grind that suits piercing and slicing small items. The plain edge cuts cleanly and is easy to touch up. Blade steel hardness decides how long the edge lasts, and the listed steel is a basic type.
