The Kershaw 1815 Sanctum delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact EDC package that fits comfortably in any pocket or gear setup. This folding knife combines the precision of a Wharncliffe blade profile with durable construction materials for consistent daily use. The blackwash finish reduces glare and hides wear while maintaining a professional appearance.
What Makes This Different
The Wharncliffe blade geometry provides superior control for detailed cutting tasks compared to traditional drop-point designs. The straight cutting edge excels at precision work like opening packages, cutting rope, or food preparation. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel holds a sharp edge longer than basic carbon steels while remaining easy to resharpen. Gray PVD coating on the handle resists corrosion and wear better than standard finishes.
