Kershaw 1170 Jens Anso Method Flipper Knife 3" BlackWashed Drop Point Blade, Machined Black G10 Handles
KS1170: 1170 Method Folding Knife
Kershaw Knives
This compact pocketknife from Kershaw and Jens Anso features a slim, 3" blade of 8Cr13MoV in Kershaw's trademark BlackWash finish. A top swedge adds to its eye appeal. The Method opens quickly, easily, and manually with the KVT ball-bearing system and a built-in flipper.
The handle is black—of course. The G10 handle features an unusual machined pattern reminiscent of an architectural truss. It not only looks good but also offers additional grip security. A custom backspacer features Jens' large lanyard attachment for those of you who prefer a lanyard and adds a touch of style even if you're the lanyard-free type. An inset liner lock keeps the weight down on the Method while still providing solid blade-lockup security. A single-position pocket clip (right, tip-up) enables the knife to sit securely in your pocket.
How did they accomplish all this style and value with a smaller knife? By using the Kershaw manufacturing "Method," of course.
- Flipper - May be used with manual or assisted opening knives. Tee "flipper" is a protrusion on the back of the blade that the user can pull back on, or flip, in order to move the blade easily out of the handle.
- Manual - There is no mechanical assist, such as SpeedSafe, used to open the folding knife. It opens the classic, old-school way.
- Inset Liner Lock - A strip of stainless steel is riveted inside the knife’s handle—most commonly when the handle is a lightweight material. This enables us to create a slimmer, lighter knife, while still providing the strength and security of a locking liner.

Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.

Considered a value steel, 8Cr13 steel provides adequate corrosion resistance but with slightly more carbon than AUS-8, it will sharpen up and hold an edge better.

Formed in a sheet under high pressure by combining fiberglass and an epoxy resin binder. These handles are lightweight and shaped to ensure a solid grip.
