KS1423: 1423 Dawnstar
Kershaw Knives
The Dawnstar excels as a tactical and practical folder for everyday tasks. The ergonomic, textured handle provides a secure grip, and assisted opening with a flipper makes deployment smooth and fast. Its hawkbill blade, angled for efficient handling of boxes, rope, and more, features a false edge along the top for improved push cuts. Details like a custom backspacer, circular sharpening choil, and weight-relieving handle pockets make it lightweight and easy to carry. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip completes the Dawnstar, ensuring it's always ready when you are.
