Overview

The Kershaw 1306BW is a knife built with a 4Cr14 steel blade and a stainless steel handle, running 7.75 inches overall with a 3.3 inch blade and weighing 113 grams. Kershaw is a known knife maker, and the BW in the model name typically refers to a blackwash finish.

4Cr14 is a budget stainless steel common in Kershaw's value lines, chosen for corrosion resistance over premium edge retention. At 113 grams and 7.75 inches overall this reads as a folding pocket knife sized for everyday carry rather than a heavy duty fixed blade, though the seller supplies no further description to confirm the lock or opening mechanism.

Who it's for

Everyday carry buyers wanting a light, stainless folding knife from an established brand fit this model well. Those needing premium steel for extended edge retention or a fixed blade for hard use should look elsewhere in Kershaw's lineup.

Pros and cons
