Product Description
Discreet, functional, and uniquely stylish, the Kershaw Kapsule 1190 is a fresh take on the utility knife. Designed by world-renowned custom knifemaker Jens Ansø, this compact tool features a manual out-the-front (OTF) sliding mechanism. Unlike traditional pocket knives, the Kapsule’s blade slides directly out of the handle and secures firmly with a push-button lock. Its non-threatening, "gadget-like" appearance makes it the perfect EDC companion for office environments or public spaces where a standard folding knife might draw unwanted attention.
The 1.9-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is shaped into a single-edge spear point, making it an exceptional box cutter and detail tool. The handle is constructed from lightweight, glass-filled nylon (GFN) with unique machining for a secure grip. To add a touch of custom flair, Kershaw accented the pivot, backspacer, and lanyard hole with a vibrant blue PVD coating. Whether you are breaking down cardboard or tackling daily chores, the Kapsule delivers surgical precision in a package that is as easy on the eyes as it is to carry.
