Kershaw Antic Folder
Item #: KE-8710
$22.95
The Antic is part of the Shuffle series by Kershaw. The first thing you'll notice about it is its oversized ring. Use it to attach the Antic to a keychain or as a lanyard attachment. In addition, the ring also provides enhanced ergonomics. Slide your pinkie through the ring for a karambit-style grip.
While karambit knives are usually very aggressive self-defense tools, with the Antic, you can enjoy this knife style in a casual, pocket-friendly format. And unlike a strictly self-defense knife, the Antic offers other tools, too. The end of the ring is flat head screwdriver, which also doubles as a mini prybar. There's even a cleverly-placed bottle opener at the end of the back handle. This unobtrusive opener won't interrupt your grip or poke your leg while carrying. And of course, it does its job very well.
The Antic's under-2-inch blade offers plenty of belly for a wide range of cutting tasks. It locks into place for use with a sturdy frame lock. The stainless steel handle is finished with an attractive navy blue PVD coating. Jimping on both blade and handle provides for a secure grip and cutting control. And at just 3.1 oz, The Antic is a lightweight, comfortable carry. Neither too bland nor too flashy, the Antic is versatile, value priced, and a great addition to your collection.
The 1-3/4” drop point blade is made from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel and has a hardness of 58-59 Rc. The closed length is 3-3/4". Made in China. Suggested Retail $29.99.

Kershaw Knives
Kershaw Knives was founded in 1974 in Portland, Oregon when knife salesman Pete Kershaw started a cutlery company that would make knives from his designs. Japanese based KAI Cutlery manufactured those designs. In 1978, KAI Cutlery purchased Kershaw Knives and the company, renamed KAI USA Ltd., continues today with three product lines; including the original Kershaw Knives, Zero Tolerance Knives, and Shun Cutlery which primarily markets kitchen cutlery.
Over the years, Kershaw Knives has worked with several custom knifemakers. Cutlery Hall of Famer Ken Onion, a custom knife maker and inventor of the “SpeedSafe” assisted opening mechanism, is the premier knife designer for Kershaw Knives. Kershaw has also collaborated with custom knifemakers Grant and Gavin Hawk, Frank Centofante, and Ernest Emerson. Kershaw has released models that were developed in collaboration with National Geographic, Jeep, Orange County Choppers, the American Professional Rodeo Association, and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.
Kershaw manufactures excellent knives and has built a very strong customer fan base due to their innovative designs and their quality control.
