The Kershaw Valve 1375 is a pocket knife for everyday use, in the range of inexpensive, modern knives, made of 4Cr14 steel and equipped with SpeedSafe blade opening support.Proven steelThe small, 57 mm long blade is made of solid 4Cr14 steel with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. This Chinese stainless steel is characterised by high corrosion resistance, it retains sharpness for a relatively short time, but this is perfectly compensated by the ease and speed of sharpening.These properties of the steel mean that the Kershaw Valve 1375 is aimed at less demanding users and people who are just starting out in the outdoors and with EDC.Its practical size, lightweight design and excellent usability make this smart knife perfect for everyday use without breaking the bank.Functional BladeThe usable drop point profile wide blade has a sandblasted, matte finish (bathed in abrasive stones) that effectively covers up minor scratches or abrasions that occur on the blade during use.Thanks to the use of a strong tip, concave cutting and a cutting edge with a gentle curvature, the knife has good cutting and penetration properties and the blade does not get stuck in the material to be cut.The blade thickness at its widest point is 2.8 mm, which is a compromise between the durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work. Transverse grooves on the spine of the blade allow for stable support of the fingers while working.The design of the knife uses subtle decorations in the form of black oxidised sequins, sandblasted handles and FRN (fibreglass reinforced nylon) backing.Convenient operationThe blade unfolds with one hand using a mart flipper, a convenient solution for both right and left-handed users. This convenient way of opening the blade makes the use of the knife extremely comfortable and easy.Blade opening support mechanismThe opening process is assisted by the SpeedSafe support mechanism . When you press the flipper or pull out the pin, the support mechanism activates an internal spring that dynamically opens the blade and the knife is ready for use in a split second.Robust lockThe monolithic frame lock blockade, considered one of the most durable locking mechanisms, effectively protects against accidental blade bending. The lock, like the flipper, can be operated with one hand.Carrying clipA high-mounted clip (without the possibility of turning it) helps carry the knife discreetly in a pocket.Ergonomic linersThe knife handle is made of a stainless steel sheath, gently contoured to the hand. Thanks to the sandblasting method, the overall structure of the knife has a very elegant and refined appearance.TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONSPage informationBlade profile Drop pointSteel hardness [HRC] 55-57Blade lock type Keretz lockKnife type foldingKnife type flipper machineSteel type stainless steel - 4Cr13Further detailsBlade material metal - stainless steelCorrosion resistance highDull resistance shortCut type convexAssist opening yes, Spring-loadedApplication (normal use) EDCMetersOverall length [mm] 140Blade length [mm] 57Length after folding [mm] 83.Blade thickness [mm] 2.8Weight [g] 85Manufacturer's dataManufacturer Kershaw, USA
