Despite its name, the Fatback is quite pocket friendly with a slim profile and narrow blade. It launches open smooth and fast with the Kershaw SpeedSafe spring assisted flipper fin. Made from 8Cr13MoV steel with a protective black oxide finish, the drop point blade tapers off to a dagger-like tip. The matching black GFN handle houses a steel liner lock and four position pocket clip.

Pro tip:
Unlike switchblades, which open automatically with a push-button, spring-assisted knives (also known as assisted open, quick release, and torsion assist knives) are only semi-automatic. They house an internal spring mechanism that kicks in once the blade has been manually opened about 45°.
