Kershaw Aftereffect Folding Pocket Knife, 1.7-Inch Blade with Manual Opening, Inset Liner Lock (1180), Black

Perfect knife to keep handy on canyoneering adventures just in case someone in your group gets irritating and you have to cut the rope.

this is one of those purchases that I savor…I was looking for a dirty santa gift doing a sort that I rarely do by dollar volume. i’m a shopper but I shop based on need - my blind spot may be what I don’t know exists. we have all had those keychain knives that can open mail, clean fingernails, or cut a tag off something…this knife I am convinced has more utility than any knife of its form factor I have er seen. Easy to open, but with a blade lock equal to my 3 1/2” folding knife, sharp as can be - almost too sharp if you are use to the normal key chain knives. I think the dirty santa limit was $25 and it was under that and thankfully I bought two. this knife will do anything you need it to do.

Unsure if the blade is not centered but it doesn’t open freely (as I would like anyway).It feels like it is rubbing on something when I open it.This is okay as it gives me a chance to take it apart—something I rarely get to do—first time with a Kershaw . I hope the carry clip can be removed as I never understood why mini knives as such have a clip. Otherwise it’s a nice little knife.

High quality knife for the price. Just note that this is a very small knife. Perfect for the jeans "thumb pocket" or hanging on a key chain.

Small, sharp and well suited for small to medium jobs.Kershaw puts out great products.Mine was taken by security at the local artsy fartsy event where you see shows, comedians etc.Said they'd give it back. But the dude that took it quit his security job in the middle of the show.

Perfect size for EDC , fits a 2 finger grip neatly and feels good in hand , quality construction, lotsa beef in a small knife, razor sharp out of the box . More than I expected - but it;s a Kershaw (of which I have many) so no surprise.

This knife is far better than I expected it to be! If you like little knife’s this is a good one.

The best I can say is that the blade steel is pretty good and it came out of the box sharp. There is no flick or flip action at all, and the blade is so short that the thumb studs just get in the way of everything. Remove those immediately! Then you still have an ok knife for the money. Beware the liner lock! If you don’t open the knife with some attitude and force the liner lock may not fully engage. It’s hard to find solid quality small fifth pocket knives that don’t cost you a small fortune, but this will due for tape and envelopes.
