Overview
The Kershaw 1555TI is a folding knife with an alloy steel blade and stainless steel handle, opening to 6.5 inches overall with a 2.8 inch blade. At 1.6 ounces it is built for everyday carry rather than heavy-duty cutting.
Kershaw pairs steel blades with metal handles on its folding lineup, and the 1555TI follows that formula in a light, pocket-friendly size. The 2.8 inch blade keeps the knife within many local carry-length limits, though buyers should check their own local rules before carrying it.
- 6.5 inch open length
- 2.8 inch blade
- 1.6 ounce weight
- Alloy steel blade, stainless handle
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants a light folding knife for daily carry, opening mail, or general utility cutting. It is not sized or built as a hunting, survival or heavy camp knife.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Very light at 1.6 ounces for daily carry
- Compact 2.8 inch blade fits pocket use
- Stainless steel handle resists everyday wear
- Blade is too small for heavy-duty cutting
- Not built as an outdoor or hunting knife
Performance notes
The alloy steel blade paired with a stainless handle keeps overall weight to 1.6 ounces, so the knife rides easily in a pocket. A 2.8 inch blade on a 6.5 inch open length puts it in the compact end of the folding knife range.
