Kershaw Starter Folding Pocket Knife (1301BW); 4Cr14 Steel Blade With Black-Oxide BlackWash Finish, SpeedSafe Assisted

The Kershaw Starter is a rugged, all-steel assisted-opening folder that blends bold, industrial design with dependable everyday functionality—all at a highly accessible price point. Part of Kershaw’s Starter Series, this knife features a 4Cr14 stainless steel drop point blade finished with BlackWash™, a durable coating that not only adds a well-worn, tactical look but also helps hide scratches and wear from regular use. The machined steel handle mirrors the blade’s finish for a cohesive, all-black aesthetic and provides a solid, comfortable grip. With Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening, deployment is quick and smooth via flipper or thumb stud, and a liner lock secures the blade during work. Though slightly heavier than some EDCs due to its full-steel construction, the Starter is built to last. A single-position deep-carry pocket clip (right, tip-down) ensures secure carry. Designed and quality-checked in the USA and manufactured in China, the Starter is engravable and backed by Kershaw’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, making it a standout for users looking for reliable performance with bold, tactical styling.
