Everyday Carry Folder

The Kershaw 1385 Airlock is a spring-assisted folding knife built for daily carry. Its 3 in 4Cr14 stainless steel blade deploys quickly with one hand. The black glass-filled nylon handle provides a secure grip. A pocket clip and lanyard hole keep the knife accessible on a belt or in a pack.

Assisted Deployment Action

The assisted opening mechanism moves the blade from closed to locked position with minimal finger pressure. A liner lock secures the blade during use. The 4.25 in closed length fits comfortably in a pocket. The bead blast finish on the stainless steel resists glare and corrosion in wet conditions.

Upgrade From Manual Folders

This model replaces traditional slip-joint or thumb-stud folders that require two-handed opening. The assisted action is worth it when speed and single-hand operation matter for camping, fishing or utility tasks. It is not suited for heavy prying or users who prefer a fixed-blade tool for maximum strength.

Questions about this item

How do I engage the assisted opening on the 3 in blade and avoid premature deployment?

Press the flipper tab to activate the spring assist; the linerlock engages automatically. Keep fingers clear of the blade path during deployment.

What upkeep does the 4Cr14 stainless blade and glass-filled nylon handle require over time?

Wipe the bead-blast blade dry after use, apply light oil to the pivot and linerlock, and check the pocket-clip screws periodically.

At what point does the linerlock or pivot show wear during repeated assisted openings?

The linerlock and pivot are the first components to develop play under sustained cycling; regular lubrication extends their service life.
