Kershaw's Misdirect folder features a 2.9" reverse tanto blade in 4Cr14 steel with M81 woodland camo handle. Liner lock design, 7" overall length, black-oxide blackwash finish.
The Kershaw Misdirect is a purpose-built folding knife designed for those who demand both functionality and distinctive aesthetics in the field or at camp.
The 2.9-inch reverse tanto blade represents a departure from conventional knife geometry. This distinctive profile combines a straight cutting edge with an angled spine, creating a blade that excels at both slicing and piercing tasks. The plain edge configuration ensures reliable cutting performance without the maintenance demands of serrated edges.
Blade Steel: 4Cr14 stainless steel offers a practical balance between edge retention and ease of maintenance—a sensible choice for outdoor use where field sharpening may be necessary.
Handle: The M81 woodland camouflage pattern adorns the handle, providing both visual appeal and practical concealment in natural settings. The black-oxide blackwash finish on the blade complements the camo aesthetic while reducing reflective surfaces.
Locking Mechanism: A liner lock secures the blade in the open position, providing reliable one-handed operation and confident handling during use.
The Misdirect represents Kershaw's commitment to delivering capable, distinctive knives for hunters, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate thoughtful design.
