Folding Knife Kershaw Method 1170

Kershaw Method 1170 is a small "gentleman's folder" knife, combining elegant style by Jens Anso, proven materials and functionality of Kershaw products.

The Kershaw Method 1170 is a knife designed for people looking for a discreet and functional edc tool that can cope with the everyday tasks of the urban jungle.

Proven steel

The 76 mm long blade 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.

Razor sharp

The narrow blade with a usable drop-point profile has an effective BlackWash finish (black oxidation), which effectively masks any scratches or abrasions of the blade caused during use.

Thanks to the use of a very aggressive point, a concave cut and a cutting edge with a gentle curvature, the knife has good cutting properties and penetrates easily.

The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

Convenient unfolding

The blade is unfolded with one hand using a milled flipper, a convenient solution for both right and left-handed users. Two KVT ball bearings are installed on the axis of the blade, thanks to which the blade opens very smoothly and dynamically.

A ball-bearing blade in combination with an extremely functional fin, make everyday use of the knife a pure pleasure.

Blade lock

After unfolding the blade, it is securely locked with the liner-lock mechanism. The steel blockade strip ensures a high level of security, and its operation is very intuitive and convenient. A reliable lock is an important element that calls for the functionality and safety of a folding knife.

A firm grip

The handle of the knife is made of linings made in 3D technology from black G10 composite. The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by low weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature changes, and the action of many acids and solvents.

The profiled shape of the handle, the undercut for fingers and small non-slip gratings make this small knife very firmly in the hand and comfortable in everyday use.

Carrying clip

Discreet carrying of the knife in a pocket is possible thanks to a flexible clip that cannot be moved. The custom backspacer by Jens has a lanyard or decorative paracord braid protruding from the handle, which are very popular with most knife owners.
