The Misdirect delivers everything you want in a daily carry folding knife without the premium price tag. Part of Kershaw's Starter Series, this knife proves you don't need to spend big to get SpeedSafe assisted opening, all-steel construction, and an aggressive reverse tanto blade. At 3.2 ounces and 4 inches closed, it's the kind of knife you'll actually carry because it doesn't eat up half your pocket.
The 3-inch reverse tanto blade features a reinforced tip, precisely where you need it for piercing and detail work, while the belly handles everyday slicing tasks. The 4Cr14 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant and easy to maintain—it sharpens quickly when you need to touch up the edge. The BlackWash finish gives the blade a worn, tactical look straight out of the box while hiding the inevitable scratches and wear that come with actual use.
The all-stainless construction means this knife can take a beating. The bead-blasted handles are smooth enough to slide in and out of your pocket without snagging, and the slim 0.38-inch profile keeps it unobtrusive. The frame lock is simple and reliable, and SpeedSafe assisted opening through the flipper gets the blade out quickly. The 3-position clip lets you set up tip-up carry on either side or tip-down on the right, and the oversized lanyard hole gives you another option if you prefer to run paracord.
If the standard BlackWash finish is too subdued, the Rainbow PVD version adds some flash with its iridescent coating on both blade and handle. It's the same knife underneath, just dressed up for people who want their EDC to stand out.
The Misdirect is straightforward—no gimmicks, no unnecessary features, just a functional assisted folder that does the job. Whether you're new to carrying knives or just want something reliable you can use hard without worrying about it, the Misdirect is ready to work.
