Kershaw 1170 Method Folding Knife 3in BlackWashed Drop Point Blade

The Kershaw Method Folding Knife combines precision craftsmanship with a sleek, angular design for everyday functionality and style. Designed in collaboration with Danish knife maker Jens Ansø, this knife features a 3-inch drop point blade made from durable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. The blade’s BlackWash finish not only enhances its rugged appearance but also provides added resistance to wear while effectively concealing scratches from daily use. A top swedge adds visual interest to the blade, making it both practical and striking.

The Method’s blade operates smoothly and reliably thanks to Kershaw’s KVT ball-bearing pivot system. With a simple press on the built-in flipper, the blade deploys quickly and without the need for springs, offering a manual opening mechanism that’s both efficient and precise. Once open, the inset liner lock ensures a secure and steady hold during use.

The handle is constructed from lightweight G-10 material, offering a secure grip with its textured surface. A glass-filled nylon backspacer not only enhances the knife’s structural integrity but also incorporates a custom lanyard attachment, a design nod to Ansø’s distinct style. Whether you’re a fan of lanyards or prefer a clean look, this feature adds a touch of versatility to the knife’s overall design.

At just 4.25 inches when closed and weighing a mere 2.2 ounces, the Method is compact enough for effortless everyday carry. The single-position pocket clip carries the knife securely in a right-side, tip-up position, ensuring it’s always within easy reach when needed. Whether you’re tackling light tasks around the house or exploring the great outdoors, the Method offers a reliable tool that’s as easy to carry as it is to use.

The Kershaw Method Folding Knife is a testament to expert design and practical functionality, with its sharp BlackWash-finished blade, lightweight G-10 handle, and dependable manual operation.
