Product Description

The Kershaw Lateral (1645BLKST) is a purpose-built workhorse designed to tackle the most demanding cutting tasks in your toolkit. Engineered with a wide, aggressive profile, the Lateral features a partially serrated drop point blade with a subtle recurve, providing extra "bite" for slicing through rope, webbing, and tough fibrous materials. Whether you are on the job site or managing a weekend project, the Lateral delivers high-utility performance without breaking the bank.

The 3.1-inch blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and finished with a non-reflective black-oxide coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and a tactical look. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to Kershaw’s legendary assisted opening mechanism and a responsive flipper tab. The handle is made from durable black glass-filled nylon (GFN), featuring a unique swooping texture that ensures an ergonomic and slip-resistant grip. With a secure liner lock and an extra-deep-carry pocket clip, the Lateral stays discreetly tucked away until you need to snap it into action.

• Snappy Assisted Opening: Experience rapid, one-handed deployment with the built-in flipper and Kershaw’s reliable assisted spring-actuated system.

• Versatile Partially Serrated Blade: The combination edge features an aggressive serrated section for heavy-duty sawing and a plain edge with a slight recurve for precision slicing.

• Non-Reflective Black-Oxide Finish: Provides a stealthy, professional aesthetic while offering a protective barrier against the elements.

• High-Traction Ergonomic Grip: The GFN handle scales are contoured and textured to provide maximum control, even when wearing work gloves.

• Discreet Extra-Deep Carry: The reversible pocket clip is designed to sit exceptionally low in the pocket, ensuring a subtle and comfortable carry all day long.
