Kershaw Flatbed 3.1" Tanto Assisted Folding Knife

Kershaw Flatbed: Tactical Reliability in Your Pocket

The Flatbed is a no-nonsense tactical folder that delivers on the promise of dependable performance. Like a well-worn pickup truck, this knife is built to work hard and handle the job at hand.

Blade Design and Steel

Tanto Point Geometry — The 3.1" tanto blade excels at piercing cuts and controlled slicing. This classic tactical blade shape has proven itself in demanding conditions.

8Cr13MoV Steel — A proven blade steel that balances edge retention with corrosion resistance. It's tough enough for hard use and easy enough to maintain in the field.

BlackWash Finish — The matte, darkened blade finish serves dual purposes: it reduces glare and effectively hides the scratches and wear marks that come with real-world use.

Handle and Carry

G10-Textured Grip — Textured G10 scales provide a secure, non-slip grip in wet or demanding conditions. A BlackWash steel inlay adds visual interest while reinforcing the tactical aesthetic.

Deep-Carry Pocket Clip — Reversible for left or right-hand carry, the deep-carry design keeps the knife concealed in your pocket while remaining instantly accessible.

Lanyard Hole — Provides an additional security option for those who prefer tethered carry.

Operation

Assisted Opening — The flipper and assisted mechanism allow the blade to deploy quickly and smoothly with a single hand. The knife opens reliably every time you need it.

Balanced Profile — Designed to feel substantial without becoming unwieldy, the Flatbed achieves the right balance between capability and everyday carry comfort.

The Flatbed is part of Kershaw's Starter Series—tactical knives that prove you don't need to spend a fortune to get genuine, hardworking performance.
