Product Description

Designed by world-renowned custom knifemaker Jens Ansø, the Kershaw Aftereffect is a masterclass in compact, high-utility design. Proving that a knife doesn’t need to be large to be effective, the Aftereffect is engineered for ultimate keychain convenience or discreet fifth-pocket carry. Whether you’re opening packages, trimming loose threads, or handling daily office tasks, this Ansø original brings custom-level aesthetics to your everyday carry.

The 1.7-inch drop point blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, offering a reliable balance of strength, edge retention, and easy field sharpening. The blade is finished with a non-reflective bead-blast coating for a clean, professional look. Despite its small stature, the glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle is ergonomically contoured to provide a secure grip. A standout feature is the vibrant blue anodized aluminum backspacer that doubles as an oversized lanyard hole, making it perfect for paracord attachments or key rings. For those who prefer traditional carry, a black-oxide deep-carry pocket clip ensures the knife sits low and invisible in your pocket.
