Kershaw Oblivion 3860X 4.5 Inch 8Cr13MoV Framelock Knife

The Kershaw Oblivion is built for hard everyday use, a 3.5-inch 8Cr13MoV blade finished in a combination bead-blast and stonewash treatment, fitted to a handle that blends stainless steel with Glass-Reinforced nylon for durability without unnecessary weight.

That mixed handle construction, stainless steel paired with GRN, gives the Oblivion a more rigid overall feel than an all-nylon handle while staying lighter than a full-stainless build. The combination bead-blast and stonewash blade finish handles daily scuffs and scratches without showing wear the way a polished blade would, hiding fingerprints and glare from two different angles of texture. A frame lock secures the blade with the rigid, play-free lockup machined-metal locking bars are known for, and the extended tang opening point delivers fast, reliable one-handed deployment. A lanyard hole rounds out the practical details for anyone who carries with a cord or fob. It's a capable choice for buyers who want a hard-use folder without paying premium prices for premium materials, built to take the kind of daily abuse a more delicate knife wouldn't handle as well.

Kershaw backs the Oblivion with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a knife built to actually get used rather than sit in a drawer. Explore more Framelock Knives.
