Kershaw 1605CKTST Clash 3.1" Folding Knife Drop Point Serrated

The Kershaw 1605CKTST Clash delivers reliable cutting performance with its 3.1-inch drop point blade and part-serrated edge design. This folding knife combines practical functionality with SpeedSafe assisted opening for quick, one-handed deployment in any situation.

What Makes This Different

The Clash stands apart with its SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism that enables smooth, controlled blade deployment with a simple thumb stud push. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade features a black oxide coating that reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance superior to uncoated alternatives. The part-serrated edge configuration handles both precision cutting and aggressive material processing that would challenge plain-edge knives.

Field testing demonstrates consistent blade deployment across temperature ranges from 20°F to 110°F. The glass-filled nylon handle maintains grip security in wet conditions while the black oxide coating resists scratching during daily carry. The part-serrated section excels at cutting rope, webbing, and fibrous materials that can jam plain edges, making this knife suitable for outdoor work, emergency response, and general utility tasks.
