Kershaw Outcome Framelock Assisted Opening Knife

The Kershaw Outcome in Rainbow PVD is one of the most visually distinctive knives in the lineup, a compact 2.8-inch drop point blade coated in a spectrum PVD finish that shifts color across the surface depending on the light and angle.

That rainbow PVD coating is a durable physical vapor deposition finish rather than a surface paint, bonding a hard, corrosion-resistant color layer directly to the 8Cr13MoV steel underneath so the effect holds up to daily handling instead of wearing off. At just 4 inches closed, the Outcome is compact enough to disappear into a pocket, and the matching spectrum-coated stainless handle keeps the whole knife visually cohesive from blade to grip. A frame lock secures the blade with a rigid, play-free lockup machined directly into the handle, and the extended tang gives a fast, dependable opening point for one-handed deployment. Even at its small size, the Outcome holds the same fundamental build quality found across Kershaw's larger framelock knives.

Kershaw backs the Outcome with the same limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship that covers the full lineup, confidence in a compact knife built to stand out from a drawer full of standard stainless folders. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
