Description

The Kershaw Grinder Folding Pocket Knife (1319) is a functional and practical folding pocket knife designed for everyday utility and work-related tasks. Its robust construction and user-friendly features make it an ideal companion for various cutting and piercing jobs. The blade, crafted from 4Cr14 stainless steel, offers a versatile profile with a slightly curved belly for efficient slicing and a strong, clipped, tanto-inspired tip for precise piercing.

HOW TO USE:

• Opening the Knife: Grip the handle firmly. Use your index finger to push down on the flipper located on the spine of the closed blade. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism will engage, propelling the blade swiftly into the open and locked position.
• Using the Knife: Once the blade is fully extended and locked by the liner lock, you can proceed with your cutting task. Hold the handle securely, utilizing the contoured shape and textured grip for control. For tasks requiring more pressure, place your thumb on the jimping on the blade’s spine for added stability.
• Closing the Knife: With a firm grip on the handle, use your thumb to push the liner lock bar (located on the inside of the handle, against the blade’s tang) away from the blade. This disengages the lock. Carefully fold the blade back into the handle recess until it is fully closed. Always keep fingers clear of the blade path.
• Carrying the Knife: Utilize the reversible deep-carry pocketclip to secure the knife in your pocket. The clip can be configured for tip-down, left or right-handed carry to suit your preference.
