Kershaw Sanctum Folding Knife Gray 2.98in Plain Blackwash Wharncliffe KS1815

The Kershaw Sanctum is an edgy, modern folding knife that lives up to its name—offering a safe haven of performance and style in your everyday carry lineup. Designed with precision and purpose, this manual folder blends Kershaw’s signature utility with a sleek, futuristic aesthetic that makes it stand out in a crowd of ordinary knives. Whether you're navigating daily tasks or need a reliable backup in your gear rotation, the Sanctum delivers with confidence and speed.

At the heart of the Sanctum is a 2.98-inch Wharncliffe blade made from durable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. This tried-and-true blade steel offers solid edge retention, corrosion resistance, and excellent sharpening ease—making it a smart choice for a hardworking daily folder. The Blackwash finish not only gives it a worn-in, tactical edge but also helps mask wear and scratches, keeping your blade looking fresh over time. The Wharncliffe profile is perfect for precise cuts, utility work, and controlled slicing, offering a strong tip and a flat edge that performs just as well in the shop as it does on a camping trip.

Opening the Sanctum is fast and satisfying, thanks to Kershaw’s proven spring-assisted mechanism. With just a gentle pull on the integrated blade flipper, the blade snaps open with authority and locks securely in place using a stainless steel framelock. This rock-solid lockup ensures safety during use, giving you the confidence to push this knife as far as you need. Whether you’re opening boxes, cutting rope, or tackling weekend projects, the Sanctum’s quick deployment and sturdy lock make it a go-to tool.

The handle is constructed from gray PVD-coated stainless steel, offering both durability and a refined industrial look. It feels substantial in hand without being heavy, with smooth contours that promote a comfortable grip. The framelock mechanism is seamlessly integrated into the design, keeping the lines clean and efficient. At 4.22 inches closed and 7.2 inches overall, the Sanctum strikes a perfect balance between compact portability and functional reach.

Weighing in at 3.7 ounces, it carries light and rides comfortably in the pocket with its tip-up, deep-carry pocket clip. There's also a lanyard hole for added customization and carry options, making this knife as adaptable as it is capable. Whether clipped in your jeans, tossed in your tool bag, or hanging from a pack, the Sanctum is ready when you are.
