Product Description

A standout entry in the Kershaw Starter Series, the Kershaw Lightyear 1395 is designed for those who need a slim, effective cutting tool that doesn't compromise on style or ergonomics. The first thing you'll notice is its unique "horn-like" handle profile, which isn't just for show—it provides a naturally comfortable grip that fills the palm while remaining remarkably thin in the pocket. Whether you're a first-time knife owner or looking for a budget-friendly addition to your rotation, the Lightyear delivers dependable performance at an attractive price point.

The 3.1-inch spear point blade is forged from 5Cr15MoV stainless steel with a hollow grind, offering an excellent balance of slicing geometry and tip strength for everyday work tasks. Finished with a rugged stonewash, the blade is purpose-built to hide scratches and maintain its clean look over time. Deployment is fast and responsive thanks to Kershaw’s signature SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism. With a lightweight glass-filled nylon (GFN) handle featuring recessed grooves for added texture, the Lightyear is a versatile, discreet, and highly capable EDC companion.
