The Kershaw Misdirect AO Folding Knife in Kings Camo brings a rugged outdoor look to a dependable everyday carry design. Featuring a 3-inch reverse tanto blade, a stainless steel handle, and distinctive XK7 camouflage, this compact folder combines practical cutting performance with eye-catching style. Designed for everyday utility, it’s ready to handle routine cutting tasks at home, on the job, or out on the trail.
The 4Cr14 stainless steel blade features a stonewashed finish that helps disguise the marks and scratches that can develop with regular use. Its reverse tanto profile offers a practical cutting edge for a variety of everyday tasks, providing a balance of control and versatility in a compact package. Measuring 3 inches long with a blade thickness of 0.11 inches, it delivers useful cutting capability without adding unnecessary bulk to your pocket. The stonewashed appearance also complements the knife’s rugged outdoor styling.
The stainless steel handle is finished in Kings Camo using Kershaw’s CCI image technology, giving the Misdirect a distinctive North American-inspired camouflage pattern. This specialized coating adds character to the knife while maintaining the durable construction expected from a dependable everyday carry folder. A blaze orange backspacer provides a bold contrast against the camouflage, while the matching orange lanyard loop offers another convenient way to personalize your carry setup or attach a lanyard.
For quick access, the Misdirect features assisted opening that helps deploy the blade smoothly when needed. Once open, the frame lock secures the blade in position during use. The combination of assisted opening and a straightforward locking mechanism makes this folder a practical choice for users who appreciate accessible functionality in a compact design.
The three-position pocket clip provides flexible carry options, accommodating right- or left-handed tip-up carry and right-handed tip-down carry. With a closed length of 4 inches, the Misdirect fits comfortably into a pocket without taking up excessive space. Its overall length of 7 inches and weight of just 3.2 ounces make it easy to carry throughout the day, whether you're handling everyday chores or heading outdoors.
Released in 2026 as part of Kershaw Originals, the Misdirect Kings Camo combines familiar functionality with a fresh outdoor-inspired appearance. From its reverse tanto blade and assisted-opening mechanism to its camouflage-coated stainless steel handle and blaze orange accents, every detail contributes to a capable, easy-to-carry folding knife. If you're looking for a practical everyday folder with rugged styling and versatile carry options, the Kershaw Misdirect AO Kings Camo deserves a place in your rotation.
