Product Description
The Kershaw 1170 Method is a testament to the "method" of precision manufacturing and custom design. It features a 3.0-inch spear-point blade made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, finished with a durable BlackWash™ coating that effectively masks scratches and daily wear. The blade's eye appeal is enhanced by a pronounced top swedge and a high-performance hollow grind, ensuring it remains as functional as it is visually striking.
Manual deployment is lightning-fast and effortless thanks to Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing system and an integrated flipper tab. The handle is crafted from Black G-10 and features a unique machined pattern reminiscent of an architectural truss, providing both a modern aesthetic and enhanced grip security. To keep the profile slim and the weight at a minimum, the Method utilizes an inset liner lock for rock-solid blade security. Finishing touches include a custom backspacer with a large Jens Ansø-style lanyard attachment and a single-position (right, tip-up) pocket clip.
