The 1230 Kershaw Diode is a compact gent’s size pocket / keychain knife that features a 1.6 inch clip point blade made of 3Cr13 stainless steel with a bead blast finish, a top swedge to lessen weight, notched thumb rest for secure grip, and a nail nick for opening. The ergonomic black GFN (glass filled nylon) handle, 2.9 inches closed, has machined grooves for secure grip, an exposed liner lock with cutouts for visual interest, and a metal back spacer with integral screwdriver and lanyard / keyring hole. The Kershaw Diode Knife has an overall open length of 4.5 inches, and it weighs 1.1 ounces.
From the Kershaw website: In the case of the Kershaw Diode, small is beautiful. This good-looking mini knife is an ideal size to slip into a pocket, add to your keychain, or drop into a backpack or purse. The oversized lanyard hole in the backspacer makes it easy to attach to a keyring and doubles as a slotted screwdriver. The blade opens manually using a nail nick in the blade. The Diode’s glass-filled nylon handles are textured for an eye-catching look and a good grip. When the blade is open, a cutout locking liner is visible and adds to the interest of this small knife.
