Kershaw Flatbed Tanto Assisted Opening Knife

The Kershaw Flatbed sets a 3.1-inch BlackWash-finished 8Cr13MoV tanto blade with a black G10 handle featuring a matching BlackWash steel inlay, a cohesive, purposeful-looking EDC folder built for everyday use.

The tanto blade shape gives piercing strength, a high point angle and reinforced tip that push through tougher material than a standard drop point can handle as cleanly. 8Cr13MoV is a step up from entry-level stainless steels, holding a working edge noticeably longer under repeated cutting while still being straightforward to resharpen with basic equipment. G10, a heat-cured fiberglass laminate, resists cracking, warping, and fading far better than basic plastic, standing up to years of daily carry. The extended tang opening point delivers fast, reliable one-handed deployment, and a lanyard hole rounds out the practical details for anyone who carries with a cord or fob. The matching BlackWash treatment on both the blade and the handle inlay gives the Flatbed a finished, deliberate look rather than mismatched components.

Kershaw backs the Flatbed 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 Assisted Opening Knives.
