---|---|---|---|
High-Performance SteelA budget friendly, reliable, top-of-the-line Chinese produced steel, 8Cr13MoV steel has carbon and slightly less nickel for hardness and edge retention. Kershaw’s precision heat treated 8Cr13MoV steel strongly takes and holds an edge and offers wear resistance that can withstand damage from both abrasive and adhesive wear. 8Cr13MoV is a value blade steel featuring high performing characteristics. |
Attractive Blade CoatingKershaw’s Bead-Blasted finish enhances a knife’s aesthetics and complements its end-use. The high-tech finish is achieved by applying a mixture of fine media onto the blade’s steel under high pressure, creating a smooth, non-reflective matte surface. Fine media includes glass and aluminum oxide beads that allow color variation and optimal performance results for an overall stunning effect. |
Fast DeploymentUsing a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle, Kershaw’s revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, fast one-handed blade deployment. Apply manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud with a light push or pull back to overcome resistance of the torsion bar, and the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure. |
Secure Locking SystemWith two steel plates, or liners, on the inside of each handle scale, the liner locking system safely secures the blade open and prevents unwanted blade closure. The lockbar butts up against the blade’s backend to prevent closure, and angles or is bent towards the blade tang creating a bias locked position. Apply manual force to move the lockbar to the side and fold the blade back into the handle. |

---|---|---|
One-Handed FlipperKnives with SpeedSafe open have two options for one-handed blade deployment. To activate the smooth, instant open, user can push a thumbstud or press a flipper. The flipper on SpeedSafe assisted knives is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users. And, once blade swings open and locks into place, flipper either disappears for aesthetics or remains visible for added finger protection. |
Durable HandleVery tough, able to take heavy-duty hard use, and versatile, glass-filled nylon handle material is a nylon synthetic polymer reinforced with glass threads for increased strength. Glass-filled nylon has incredible stiffness for a secure and stable grip, great ability to withstand heat, and dimensional stability combined with excellent wear resistance. |
Convenient PocketclipKershaw designs pocketclips to fit specific knives according to their weight, intended end use, size, style and hardware. Some knives have multiple carry options, others are more streamlined. The reversible pocketclip allows user to choose to carry knife tip-up or tip-down or to choose on which side knife carries. The user may select either a preferred tip position or a preferred carry side. |
Product Description
The Clash goes dark side in the black Clash. In addition to a drop-point blade, with just the right amount of belly recurve for excellent slicing ability, the black Clash also has partial serration so that it can laugh at tough materials like webbing or rope. The Clash is one of our most popular knives. Get your hands on this task-ready pocketknife and you’ll quickly understand why. At 4.3 ounces, it is sturdy enough to fulfill its EDC mission while slim enough to transport easily in pocket, backpack, briefcase, purse, or toolbox. Best of all, Clash comes with liner lock, flipper, and assisted opening, making it a premier knife at an affordable price. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything.

If you must know more than that, here it is: I was a Gerber knife fan for years, but I realize now that I just didn't know any better. Several years ago, my girlfriend bought me a Kershaw folding knife with a built-in driver with #1 and #2 flat and phillips drill bits. It was cheap, but it was utilitarian and served it's purpose. It was a $10 sale item at W@L-M@rt that she had put in my stocking for Xmas. Anyway, it quickly replaced my Gerber because the thing was razor sharp out of the box and held it's edge much longer than the Gerber I was always having to sharpen. Anyway, the belt clip on the cheap Kershaw was coming loose after a couple of years of regular use (still not bad for $10!) so I started searching for a replacement, a Kershaw of course, and I found this Kershaw 1605CKTST Clash Folding Knife with SpeedSafe (2-Step Serration) on Amazon...I always buy a knife with a partially serrated blade because it makes the knife much more versatile for different cutting needs. This thing has not disappointed.
The SpeedSafe open assist is amazing! It opens lightning fast with the push of the very well placed flipper, located on the back spine of the knife. Works MUCH better than the little knob that most "quick opening" knifes have on the blade itself.
Like I said, it holds an edge better than (pretty much) any knife I have ever owned, especially for the $30 I paid for it.
It is easy to sharpen. I use the Smith's PP1 Pocket Pal Multifunction Sharpener that I bought here on AMazon. It was cheap and gets the job done, and has the taped diamond rod for sharpening the serrations.
It has a decent weight to it, and feels like a quality product.
The belt clip works great, and has never loosened on me. I carry this knife with me EVERYWHERE that I go (except airports of course) and use the clip on the front left pocket of my jeans, even when riding my motorcycle.
I can't imagine life without my Kershaw Clash. I use it every day and it has yet to let me down. If I ever lose it (I HAVE actually lost it once already, but had another on the way using Amazon Prime that SAME day!) I would buy another without hesitation. I cannot recommend this knife enough to those of you in the market for one.
BUY IT.
The SpeedSafe Assisted Opening mechanism is sweeeeeet. However, I could see this causing accidental openings (& injury) if you put it down in your pocket, so don't do that. This knife is DESIGNED to use the clip to attach to your pocket. This is specifically to prevent accidental opening and injury. So please, just use this one like it is designed to be used and be safe. If you want a knife to insert way down deep in your pocket, get one without a speed-assisted opening mechanism.
BC I'm telling you now, this thing is beyond razor sharp. Holds it's edge very well too, and comes with lifetime free sharpening from the Mfg. But you don't want to chance this baby opening without your permission while way down in your pocket, down near....vital areas. Just don't do it. The knife comes with an instruction sheet. PLEASE read it before you toss it. Honestly, don't be that guy (or gal) who thinks he knows everything and ends up slicing something important simply bc you are an idiot.
My mother loves a good pocket knife to keep in her car console and one in her purse. I would not buy this for her to keep in for either of those places. I would buy her one without assisted opening. Any knife with assisted opening will be extremely dangerous to have laying deep in a pocket or purse, simply bc they can and at some point, will open. So when you reach in for the knife, you will eventually find an open and very sharp blade. So again, don't do that. don't buy this knife unless you will be smart and carry it wisely & safely. I made a little "pocket" on the inside wall of my car's middle console, just big enough to slip this into and keep it from accidentally opening. Having a good sharp utility knife around is always a good idea. This knife is perfect for my needs and has been used several times a week for one thing or another.
And don't knock this product for being designed the way it is. Honestly, you have so many great EDC pocket knife options, each one designed for a different use and purpose. This one is designed to be worn a certain way, and it works very well....as long as you have a few live brain cells and actually use them. So get it, use it CORRECTLY, and love it. This is an awesome, beautiful, well designed EDC clip-pocket knife.
