Kershaw Aftereffect Folding Knife 1.7in Plain Bead Blast Blade KS1180

The Kershaw Aftereffect Folding Knife is a compact, versatile everyday carry blade designed by Jens Anso. With a 1.7-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade, it delivers reliable edge retention and strength, complemented by a bead-blasted finish for a clean, matte look. The manual opening mechanism operates on a washer pivot system, allowing smooth one-handed deployment via dual thumb studs. A liner lock secures the blade during use, ensuring safety and durability.

Engineered for portability, the Aftereffect measures just 3 inches closed and 4.75 inches overall, weighing only 2.1 ounces. Its black glass-filled nylon handle features an angular design, offering a comfortable, secure grip. A deep-carry, tip-up pocket clip allows for discreet carry, while the anodized blue aluminum backspacer adds a touch of color and functionality. The oversized lanyard hole integrated into the backspacer makes it easy to attach the knife to a keychain or gear loop, offering additional carry options for users who prefer an ultra-lightweight setup.

Built for reliability, the Aftereffect balances durability with convenience. The 8Cr13MoV blade holds its edge well while remaining easy to sharpen, making it a practical choice for everyday cutting tasks. The blade's compact size ensures precise control, whether opening packages, slicing cordage, or handling small utility jobs. Its combination of a solid grip, functional blade design, and effortless carry options makes it a go-to choice for those who need a dependable pocket knife without unnecessary bulk.
