Kershaw Airlock 1385 Assisted Folding Knife
Kershaw's Airlock delivers style and function in a slim 3-inch drop point folder. SpeedSafe assisted opening, 4Cr13 bead-blasted blade, glass-filled nylon handle with distinctive cutout design, and reversible pocket clip for discreet carry.
The Kershaw Airlock: Everyday Excellence at an Accessible Price
The Airlock represents Kershaw's commitment to delivering advanced features and genuine style without the premium price tag. This is a knife that respects both your budget and your taste.
Design and Aesthetics
The Airlock's slim, purposeful profile immediately sets it apart. The distinctive cutout in the handle—mirroring the blade shape—creates visual interest while serving a practical purpose: you can see straight through to the stainless steel liners beneath. This transparent "airlock" design gives the knife an open, modern feel that appeals to users who appreciate thoughtful engineering.
The decorative pivot nut and patterned handle machining work together to create an integrated, cohesive appearance. The reversible pocket clip is styled like a pen clip, allowing the Airlock to virtually disappear in your pocket when you need discretion.
Performance Features
Assisted Opening: The SpeedSafe assisted mechanism opens the blade quickly and smoothly with a simple flipper activation. This is genuine assisted opening—not a gimmick—that makes the knife responsive and reliable in the field.
Blade: The 3-inch drop point blade is forged from 4Cr13 stainless steel with a bead-blasted finish. This steel offers solid corrosion resistance and edge retention for everyday tasks. The matte finish resists fingerprints and glare.
Handle: Black glass-filled nylon provides durability and secure grip. The patterned machining ensures your hand won't slip, even in wet conditions.
Lock: The inset liner lock is proven, reliable, and easy to operate with one hand.
