Kershaw Barstow Assisted Opening Knife Black GFN (3″ BlackWash)

The Barstow is a little wicked and a lot of value. It’s a folding dagger and everything about this slim sleek blade is simple direct and ready.

The straight spear-point blade sharpened on a single side is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with Kershaw?s BlackWash coating for a non-reflective ?already-broken-in? look. The coating not only helps protect the blade but also hides use scratches. The handle has glass-filled nylon scales with heavy arrow-patterned texturing to enhance grip. A stout steel liner also with non-reflective BlackWash provides an equally stout liner lock to secure the blade open during use.

Even better the Barstow opens quickly and easily with SpeedSafe assisted opening and the built-in flipper. All the hardware is black?with the notable exception of the Barstow?s tube spacers which are anodized in blue for a touch of subtle color and eye-catching interest. For convenient and discreet carry the deep-carry pocketclip enables the knife to ride low in the pocket and is left/right reversible.

SpeedSafe® Assisted Opening assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
