Kershaw 1170 Method Folder 3" Knife 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Black Oxide Straightback G10 Black The Method is a smaller pocketknife from Kershaw and Jens Anso that features a slim, 3" blade of 8Cr13MoV in their BlackWash finish. It opens quickly, easily, and manually with Kershaw's KVT ball-bearing system and a built-in flipper. The G10 handle features an unusual machined pattern reminiscent of an architectural truss. A custom backspacer features Jens' large lanyard attachment for those of you who prefer a lanyard. An inset liner lock keeps the weight down on the Method while still providing solid blade-lockup security. A single-position pocketclip (right, tip-up) enables the knife to sit securely inside your pocket.
