Kershaw Jetpack Pocket Knife (1401)

Description

The Kershaw Jetpack Pocket Knife (1401) is a compact and efficient folding knife designed for everyday use. Its angular design and practical features make it a valuable tool for a wide range of daily tasks. The knife features a 2.75-inch stonewashed tanto blade, known for its strong tip and effectiveness in piercing cuts. This blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing a good balance of corrosion resistance and strength, with its stonewashed finish helping to mask signs of wear. The handle is constructed from stonewashed stainless steel and enhanced with black glass-filled nylon (GFN) overlays. These overlays add a unique visual element while also contributing to a more secure and ergonomic grip, ensuring comfort during use. The Jetpack utilizes Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, allowing for smooth and rapid one-handed blade deployment via its integrated flipper. A reliable liner lock mechanism secures the blade firmly in the open position, providing stability and safety during operation. Designed as part of Kershaw’s “Starter Series,” the Jetpack 1401 offers an excellent combination of performance and value. It includes a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for convenient and discreet tip-up carry on either side, and a lanyard hole for additional attachment options.
