Product Description
The Kershaw Inverse 1397 is a masterclass in minimalist design from the experimental Project ATOM series. Engineered for those who prioritize weight savings above all else, this ultralight fixed blade is crafted entirely from high-strength PA-66 nylon and glass-fiber composite. By replacing traditional blade steel with advanced polymers, Kershaw has created a tool that is virtually unnoticeable in a pocket or gear bag, weighing a staggering 0.4 ounces.
The Inverse features a 2.6-inch spear-point profile designed for discreet utility and emergency piercing tasks. Because it contains no blade steel, the Inverse is completely corrosion-resistant and requires zero maintenance—making it the ideal backup tool for humid environments, tackle boxes, or emergency kits. The black polymer body is reinforced for structural integrity and features a subtle steel overlay detail that adds a touch of modern "Kershaw class" to this unconventional, stealthy fixed blade.
