Overview
Flicking this Kershaw folder open with the assisted mechanism puts a short reverse tanto blade in hand quickly. The serrated rear section saws through cord and strapping, the plain front handles boxes, and a liner lock holds the blade.
Owners get a light, tactical styled knife with fast deployment and a combo edge for varied tasks. The short blade limits heavy cutting, and serrations take more effort to sharpen.
Who it's for
Commuters and warehouse workers who cut tape, rope and zip ties will use both edge sections. Campers processing food or wood need a longer blade.
Pros and cons
- Very light carry
- Combo edge for rope
- Serrations harder to sharpen
- Hand wash only
Performance notes
Fast deployment comes from the assisted opening spring once you start the blade moving. The reverse tanto tip is strong for scraping and piercing, and the serrations bite into fibrous material. The textured nylon handle gives grip without adding weight.
