Overview
Flicking the blade open with assisted opening and locking it with a liner, this Kershaw folder handles boxes, cord and camp tasks. A textured nylon handle gives grip, and the clip swaps sides for left or right carry.
Assisted opening and an ambidextrous clip make it simple to carry and deploy for nearly anyone. The entry-level stainless steel resharpens easily but dulls sooner than harder steels.
Who it's for
Everyday carriers, campers and first-time knife owners who want quick deployment and an easy edge to sharpen. Users cutting cardboard all day may prefer harder steel.
Pros and cons
- Fast assisted opening
- Clip works for either hand
- Light in the pocket
- Stonewash hides scratches
- Basic blade steel dulls sooner
- Liner lock only
- Nylon handle feels light
Performance notes
A spring assists the blade once it is nudged open, then the liner lock snaps behind it. The softer stainless steel takes an edge quickly on a stone but loses it sooner under hard cutting.
