Product Description
The Kershaw Starter 1301BW features a complex, machined design that is as smoothly functional as it is visually striking. Built for those who need a reliable tool with a "rough-and-tumble" aesthetic, the Starter is fully finished in Kershaw’s popular BlackWash. This finish isn't just for looks; the non-reflective coating provides an extra layer of protection for the steel and expertly hides the scratches and scuffs that inevitably come with hard, everyday use.
Equipped with Kershaw’s patented SpeedSafe assisted opening, the Starter deploys with lightning-fast efficiency using the built-in flipper or thumb stud. The 3.4-inch 4Cr14 stainless steel blade features a deep hollow grind and a versatile drop point profile, making it an excellent multitasker for everything from opening boxes to outdoor utility. The all-stainless steel handle is contoured for a secure grip and houses a dependable liner lock to keep the blade fixed during operation. At a substantial 6.4 ounces, the Starter offers a solid, weighted feel in the hand that inspires confidence during heavy-duty tasks.
