  • Description

    The Kershaw Method Drop Point Blade Flipper Knife (1170) is a refined and highly functional tool, perfect for everyday carry. This slim pocketknife, a collaboration between Kershaw and renowned designer Jens Ansø, combines sophisticated aesthetics with practical utility, making it a standout choice for those who value both form and function in their cutting tools.

    KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

    • Slim 3-inch 8Cr13MoV BlackWash Blade: The blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its ability to take and hold a sharp edge while being easy to re-sharpen. The BlackWash™ finish not only adds to its visual appeal but also provides an extra layer of protection and effectively hides minor scratches from daily use, ensuring your knife maintains its look over time.
    • Smooth KVT Ball-Bearing Opening: The Method deploys quickly and effortlessly using a built-in flipper in conjunction with Kershaw's KVT (Kinetic Velocity Technology) ball-bearing system. This ensures a consistently smooth and fast opening action, allowing for quick access to the blade when needed.
    • Lightweight G10 Handle with Inset Liner Lock: The black G10 composite handle is meticulously machined to provide a secure grip without adding unnecessary bulk. The inset liner lock mechanism is integrated within the handle, securing the blade firmly in the open position during use while contributing to the knife's remarkably light weight, making it comfortable for extended carry.
    • Designer Aesthetics and Practical Touches: A top swedge on the blade enhances its visual appeal, giving it a distinctive angular look. The custom backspacer, designed by Jens Ansø, includes a large lanyard attachment, offering a stylish accent whether or not you choose to carry a lanyard.

    HOW TO USE:

    • Deployment: To open the knife, grip the handle firmly. Use your index finger to press down on the flipper tab that extends from the back of the blade. Apply a smooth, quick downward motion to the flipper.
    • Blade Lock-up: As the blade rotates open, the inset liner lock will engage automatically, securing the blade firmly in the open position. You should hear a distinct click, indicating the lock is fully engaged.
    • Using the Knife: Once the blade is locked open, it is ready for your cutting tasks. Ensure you maintain a secure grip on the G10 handle during use.
    • Closing the Knife: To close the blade, locate the metal liner lock inside the handle. Using your thumb, push the liner lock firmly towards the side of the handle, disengaging it from the blade's tang.
    • Folding the Blade: While holding the liner lock disengaged, carefully fold the blade back into the handle with your other hand until it is fully closed and secured within the handle. Always keep your fingers clear of the blade's path.
    • Carrying: When not in use, ensure the blade is fully closed. Utilize the single-position pocketclip to securely carry the knife in your right pocket, tip-up.
