Clash 8Cr13MoV Steel Blade Folding Knife

Don’t blink—the Clash opens in a flash! This handy folder uses Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe Assisted-Open technology for speedy blade access. A slight tap on the flipper fin is all it takes to shoot this knife open and lock it in place. The stainless steel liner lock is easy to engage and disengage single handedly. The blade has a broad drop point shape with a slight recurve to make your slices smoother and longer. With its matte black GFN handle and shine-free bead blasted steel, the Clash is perfect for low-profile everyday carry.

Why choose this knife?

• Light-weight, pocket friendly design
• Versatile drop point blade is a great all-purpose cutting tool
• Recurved blade provides increased slicing depth
• Spring-assisted blade deploys instantly
• Bead blasted finish hides cosmetic damage
• Pocket clip can be switched for tip-up or tip-down carry

Why not?

• Plain edge does not handle rough or fibrous materials well
• Pocket clip is not reversible for left hand carry
• Recurved blade can be difficult to sharpen

Pro tip:
Recurved blades have a second curve along the cutting edge, creating an S-shape in the middle. This added curvature effectively makes the cutting edge longer and provides a wider degree of cutting angles. This blade shape can be tricky to sharpen though, as it requires continual reorientation of the edge.
