Overview
The Kershaw 1920 is a folding knife with an alloy steel blade and a glass reinforced nylon handle, measuring 7.6 inches open and weighing 3.52 ounces.
The glass reinforced nylon handle trims weight while keeping the frame rigid, which is why the whole knife comes in under 3.6 ounces despite a 7.6 inch open length. The listed 3.4 inch size figure lines up with a blade length within that overall span. Edge retention and corrosion resistance of the alloy steel are not detailed beyond the material name.
- Blade: alloy steel
- Handle: glass reinforced nylon
- Open length: 7.6 inches
- Weight: 3.52 ounces
Who it's for
Works for everyday carry users wanting a light folding knife for general utility cutting. Not suited to those who need a fixed blade or a knife rated for heavy chopping.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Lightweight at 3.52 ounces
- Durable glass reinforced nylon handle
- Compact 3.4 inch blade for everyday tasks
- Edge retention of the alloy steel not specified
- Folding design not suited to heavy-duty cutting
Performance notes
The 3.4 inch blade sits within a 7.6 inch overall open length, giving it a fairly standard folding knife proportion. Weight stays low at 3.52 ounces thanks to the glass reinforced nylon handle rather than a full metal frame. Alloy steel is named as the blade material, but specific hardness or edge retention figures are not part of the listing.
