Kershaw Knives: Kershaw Oblivion Knife, KE-3860
The 3860 Kershaw Oblivion Knife is a sleek everyday carry that features a 3.5 inch spear point blade made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel with a two tone bead blast and stonewash finish, a weight reducing top swedge, a flipper and SpeedSafe Assist for ambidextrous one hand opening. The two tone bead blast and stonewash finish stainless steel handle, 4.6 inches closed, has black GFN (glass filled nylon) inserts, sturdy frame lock with over travel stop, a large lanyard hole, and a side to side reversible steel pocket clip mounted at the butt end. The Oblivion Knife has an overall open length of 8.1 inches, and it weighs 5.1 ounces.
From the Kershaw website: The Oblivion is prepared to obliterate any cutting task in its path. With its industrial look, this modern folder is bound to impress in both style and performance.
For style, the Oblivion combines stainless steel and glass-filled nylon in a two-piece front scale – not easy to do. What’s more, since the Oblivion opens with SpeedSafe assisted opening, there has to be a place for the SpeedSafe mechanism to go. Usually, it’s positioned in a small, internal hollow in the handle. But to date, we had only placed that mechanism in single-material handle scales. With the Oblivion, for the first time, we integrated SpeedSafe into a two-piece front scale. The result is a unique “split profile” look, plus smooth, one-handed SpeedSafe opening.
The Oblivion’s substantial 3.5-inch blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel offers top performance, too. This quality steel takes a sharp edge and re-sharpens easily when needed. And while the Oblivion’s cutting edge is fairly straight, it also has enough belly to make it a reliable multi-tasking blade. The angular handle has been smoothed for a comfortable grip and a small finger contour enhances grip even more.
A sturdy frame lock secures the blade open for safe use. We also added an over-travel stop to keep the lock from moving too far – or “over traveling” – when closing. The Oblivion also features a reversible deep-carry pocketclip, or left- or right-handed carry. A large, trapezoid-shaped lanyard hole adds to the aesthetics and makes it easy to secure a lanyard to customize your knife.
Packed with features, the Oblivion shows what a modern flipper knife can be. A value price just makes the Oblivion sweeter.
