Product Description
The Kershaw 1324 Cathode is a compact powerhouse designed for maximum utility without the bulk. It features a 2.25-inch Tanto blade crafted from 4Cr14 stainless steel, offering an ideal balance of piercing power and slicing capability. The blade is finished with a rugged stonewash to hide scratches and features a decorative top grind and heavy jimping on the spine. This extra texture allows you to "choke up" on the blade for high-precision detail work with total confidence.
Equipped with Kershaw’s legendary SpeedSafe® assisted opening, the Cathode deploys instantly with a simple pull of the flipper tab, making it fully ambidextrous and easy to operate one-handed. The handle is constructed from solid stainless steel with a unique hot-stamped texture that provides a modern, industrial look and a secure, non-slip grip. A rock-solid frame lock keeps the blade safely deployed, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip ensures this 2.7-ounce folder stays discreetly by your side.
