Product Description

The Kershaw Lateral (1645) is the ultimate addition to any professional tool kit, offering a perfect balance of ergonomic comfort and aggressive cutting power. This manual-flipper folder features a wide drop point blade with a subtle recurve, a design specifically engineered to pull material into the edge for more efficient slicing and heavy-duty utility work. Built to be a reliable "work-first" knife, the Lateral provides premium features like assisted deployment without the premium price tag.

The 3.1-inch blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing a sharp, durable edge that is easy to maintain even after a long day on the job. Its stonewashed finish gives the knife a rugged, non-reflective look that expertly hides scratches and wear. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening and a snappy flipper tab. The handle is made from durable, lightweight glass-filled nylon (GFN) and features a unique "swooping" texture that offers a secure, ergonomic grip in any weather conditions.

• Snappy SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening: Quick, one-handed deployment via the flipper tab, with a strong bias toward the closed position for safe pocket carry.

• Aggressive Recurve Drop Point: The wide 3.1-inch blade features a slight recurve to increase cutting surface area and improve performance on difficult slicing tasks.

• Durable Stonewashed Finish: The rugged stonewashed treatment provides a matte aesthetic that masks scuffs and protects the 8Cr13MoV steel.

• High-Traction Ergonomic Grip: The GFN handle scales are contoured and textured with a swooping pattern to reduce hand fatigue and prevent slipping during use.

• Extra-Deep-Carry Pocket Clip: The reversible clip allows the knife to sit exceptionally low in the pocket, providing a discreet carry for both right and left-handed users.
