Product Description

The Kershaw Rhetoric 1342X is the ultimate "barely-there" everyday carry knife, offering high-speed performance and reliable utility at an unbeatable price point. Designed for those who prioritize a lightweight, slim profile for daily tasks, the Rhetoric is a compact flipper that excels in both ergonomics and ease of carry. Whether you are opening mail at the office or handling utility chores in the field, this assisted folder delivers a snappy, satisfying deployment every time you need it.

The 3-inch blade is crafted from 3Cr13 stainless steel with a matte bead-blasted finish that reduces glare and provides a clean, professional look. The blade shape features a subtle Wharncliffe/Drop Point hybrid profile, offering a sharp point for puncturing and a straight edge for controlled slicing. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening and a built-in flipper tab that doubles as a finger guard when the blade is open. The handle is made from durable black glass-filled nylon (GFN), contoured to fit the palm naturally for a secure and comfortable grip.
