Kershaw Knives has recently announced their new offering in the Kershaw Start Series with the the Light year folder knife.

Kershaw Knives states “The Lightyear is an entry in the Kershaw Starter Series, designed as a slim, effective knife at an attractive price.

The first thing users will notice about the Lightyear is its horn-like profile.

Despite the handle’s slim design, it stays ergonomic in the hand for long periods of time.

The grippy handle is made of glass-filled nylon, featuring recessed grooves that are pleasing to the eye and hand.

A spear point blade provides plenty of cutting area and strength for most work tasks.

Finally, a deep-carry clip keeps the knife discreet in the pocket.”
