Product Description
The Kershaw Salvage 1369 is a standout addition to the Starter Series, offering upgraded materials and high-end features in a rugged, everyday carry package. Built for adventure, this folder features a highly functional 2.9-inch reverse tanto blade crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. This steel upgrade ensures superior edge retention and durability compared to standard entry-level models, while the stonewashed finish expertly hides scratches from heavy utility use. Whether you're a longtime Kershaw fan or a newcomer to the brand, the Salvage provides a reliable, "work-ready" feel that punches well above its weight class.
The handle design is both aesthetic and ergonomic, featuring a sleek silver stainless steel frame with a textured OD Green glass-filled nylon (GFN) overlay. This combination adds just enough thickness for a confident, comfortable grip without bulkiness, keeping the knife slim and pocket-friendly. Deployment is lightning-fast thanks to Kershaw’s SpeedSafe® assisted opening system and a built-in flipper tab. To ensure total reliability under pressure, the Salvage is equipped with a stout frame lock, an overtravel stop to prevent lock damage, and strategic blade jimping for maximum control during precision cuts.
