Kershaw Misdirect 1365 Folding Knife
Kershaw's Misdirect delivers everyday cutting performance with a 2.9" reverse tanto blade, SpeedSafe assisted opening, and minimalist stainless steel design. Blackwash finish hides wear.
The Kershaw Misdirect: Everyday Excellence
The Misdirect represents Kershaw's commitment to delivering quality cutting tools at an accessible price point. Part of the Starter Series, this folding knife proves that style and performance don't require premium pricing.
Design and Blade
The 2.9" reverse tanto blade is purpose-built for practical cutting tasks. This blade geometry excels at piercing cuts and slicing through tough materials—from packaging to mail. The black-oxide coating with BlackWash finish provides both durability and aesthetic appeal, while effectively concealing scratches that come with daily use.
Opening Mechanism
Kershaw's proven SpeedSafe assisted opening system deploys the blade with minimal effort. The flipper serves dual duty: it opens the knife smoothly and functions as a fingerguard when the blade is deployed.
Handle and Carry
The stainless steel handle features a bead-blasted, non-reflective matte finish that's both modern and practical. At just 3.2 ounces with a closed length of 4 inches, the Misdirect carries easily in a pocket or pack. The three-position pocket clip accommodates right or left-hand carry, tip-up or tip-down orientation.
