The Kershaw Amplitude 3870 is a compact gentleman's folder knife made in collaboration with esteemed designer Todd Rexford.
Proven steel
The narrow blade, 72 mm long, is made of the popular 8Cr13MoV steel hardened to 57-59 HRC. This Chinese steel has good corrosion resistance and hardenability comparable to AUS6.
The 8Cr13MoV steel blade is perfect for everyday use, due to corrosion resistance, good sharpness and easy sharpening, for which a pocket whetstone is enough.
Efficient blade
The knife has a satin blade with a usable drop-point profile, which is perfect for everyday activities. There are transverse cutters on the spine that allow for a stable support of the thumb.
Good cutting properties and excellent penetration of the knife are due to the use of an aggressive point, flat grinding and a cutting edge with a gentle curvature.
Comfort of use
The blade can be quickly unfolded with one hand using a milled flipper, all you need to do is press the fin vigorously and the knife is ready to work. This simple solution is convenient for both right and left-handed users, and also allows for comfortable use of the knife with gloves.
Robust lock
The monolithic frame-lock blockade, considered one of the most durable locking mechanisms, effectively protects against accidental folding of the blade. The lock, like the flipper and the pin, can be operated with one hand.
Carrying clip
Daily carrying of the knife in the pocket is possible thanks to a wide steel clip that can be attached in 2 positions.
Simple and stylish
The knife has straight 410 stainless steel facings with a wear resistant PVD (vapor phase) coating to protect against scratching and abrasion. The manufacturer gave up milling and texturing the handle.
The elements that ensure a stable and safe grip are the delicately profiled shape of the cladding and the flipper, which, after unfolding the blade, acts as a handguard.
