CUT IT UP The Kershaw Starter is machine and complex yet functions smoothly. It has a rough and tumble look with its black wash finish and the coating provides an extra level of protection for the stainless steel surfaces. But let's face it, for an EDC knife, the black wash looks amazing and it just gets better with age! The Starter features the SpeedSafe assisted opening system for quick and smooth one handed opening. The liner lock is strong and it has a deep cary pocket clip. The Starter from Kershaw is a great every day carry knife.
