The Kershaw 1324 Cathode is a compact framelock built for pocket carry that never gets in the way, a 2.25-inch stonewashed stainless tanto blade paired with a gray stainless handle for a knife that’s easy to forget until it’s actually needed.
The stonewash finish handles daily scuffs and scratches without showing wear the way a polished blade would, and the tanto profile gives piercing capability in a package this small. A frame lock holds the blade open with the same rigid, no-play lockup that made framelocks the go-to design for premium folders, and the extended tang doubles as both the opening point and a natural finger guard once the blade’s out.
Kershaw’s build quality carries through even at this compact size, backed by the brand’s limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Explore more Assisted Opening Knives.
