Kershaw's Starter features a 3.4" blackwash drop point blade with SpeedSafe assisted opening for quick one-handed deployment. Liner lock, deep-carry clip, and all-steel construction make it reliable for everyday carry and field use.
The Starter represents solid knife design at an accessible price point. Built for the shooter, hunter, or outdoorsman who demands dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.
This is an all-steel folder with a 3.4-inch drop point blade finished in blackwash. The blackwash coating serves dual purposes: it protects the steel from corrosion and conceals the inevitable scratches that come with honest use in the field. This is practical design—form follows function.
The Starter employs Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening system. Deploy the blade using either the built-in flipper or thumbstud for reliable one-handed operation. The mechanism is smooth and predictable—no surprises when you need the blade in hand.
A liner lock mechanism secures the blade firmly during use and disengages cleanly for closing. The lock is positive and inspires confidence during cutting tasks.
The deep-carry pocket clip positions the knife low in your pocket for discreet carry. The clip is robust and won't shift during the day. Whether you're in the field or in town, the Starter rides where you need it.
This knife does what it's designed to do without pretense. It's built to work, not to impress. For everyday carry, camp duties, or field tasks, the Starter delivers.
