The Kershaw Misdirect Assisted Framelock Folding Knife Polished Rainbow PVD Coated delivers reliable everyday cutting power with a bold look that’s impossible to ignore. Built for users who want a practical tool with personality, this compact folder blends durable materials, quick deployment, and eye-catching finish into a knife that performs as well as it looks.
The reverse tanto blade is crafted from tough stainless steel and finished with a polished rainbow PVD coating that adds excellent wear resistance while giving the knife its distinctive color-shifting appearance. This blade shape offers a reinforced tip for piercing tasks along with a straight cutting edge that excels at slicing and controlled utility work. From opening packages to tackling daily chores around the shop, garage, or campsite, the blade is built to handle real use.
Kershaw’s assisted opening system pairs with a convenient flipper tab to deliver quick, smooth one-handed deployment. The action snaps the blade into position with authority, making the knife easy to operate even when your other hand is busy. Once open, the stainless steel frame lock secures the blade solidly in place, providing dependable lockup that inspires confidence during tougher cutting jobs.
The handle is constructed from stainless steel and coated in the same polished rainbow PVD finish as the blade, giving the knife a unified look that’s both modern and rugged. Subtle contouring improves grip and comfort, while the solid metal construction adds strength and balance without unnecessary bulk. A reversible pocket clip supports tip-up carry for either left- or right-handed users, and the integrated lanyard hole offers an additional carry option for quick retrieval.
Sized for everyday convenience, the Misdirect slips easily into the pocket while still providing serious cutting capability when needed. It’s a practical work knife with a finish that stands apart from the crowd.
