Kershaw Outright Overview

The Kershaw Outright is a bold statement piece that proves an everyday carry knife can be both highly functional and visually striking. This distinctive 3-inch blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, providing a tough, easy-to-sharpen edge that holds up to daily abuse. Because of this reliable steel foundation, the Outright excels at slicing tasks, further enhanced by its dramatic trailing point (upswept) blade profile. Additionally, the entire knife is enveloped in a brilliant Blue PVD coating that not only turns heads but also adds a durable layer of scratch and corrosion resistance to the steel.

Beyond the vibrant color, the SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism allows for lightning-fast, one-handed deployment using either the built-in flipper or ambidextrous thumb studs. In addition to its smooth action, the handle features a black G10 overlay on the front scale, providing aggressive texture for a secure grip without compromising the knife’s slim profile. Consequently, the contrasting black-on-blue aesthetic makes this 4-ounce folder a favorite for users who want their gear to stand out. If you prefer a similar assisted-opening frame lock with a more subdued, carbon fiber aesthetic, we recommend checking out the Kershaw Fringe.

Construction of the Kershaw Outright

Most significantly, the construction of the Kershaw Outright relies on a sturdy stainless steel frame lock. This robust mechanism moves behind the blade to lock it securely in place during use, ensuring safety during piercing or heavy cutting cuts. The handle is contoured for comfort and includes a single-position deep-carry pocketclip designed for right-handed, tip-down carry. You can find full technical details on the official Kershaw Outright product page.
