Kershaw 1375 Valve Edc 2.25" Folding Drop Point Plain Stonewashed 4Cr14 Bla
The Kershaw 1375 Valve is a mid-sized EDC folding knife that hits the sweet spot between portability and functionality. With a 2.25-inch stonewashed drop-point blade, this everyday carry knife delivers solid cutting performance without the bulk of a larger folder. The all-stainless steel construction gives you durability and a satisfying feel in hand, while the bead-blasted finish adds a refined aesthetic that works equally well on the job site or in the office.
What sets the Valve apart is its practical design philosophy. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system lets you deploy the blade quickly with a flick of the flipper, and the single-position deep-carry pocketclip keeps the knife low and discreet in your pocket. At just 3 ounces and 5.5 inches overall length, it's light enough to carry all day without adding weight to your pocket. The contoured stainless steel handle fits naturally in your grip, and black-oxide hardware adds understated visual appeal.
The 4Cr14 stainless steel blade holds an edge well for everyday cutting tasks and resists corrosion in variable conditions. This is a knife that works as hard as you do—whether you're opening packages, tackling outdoor projects, or just needing a reliable blade on hand. Kershaw backs it with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you know you're getting gear built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Kershaw Valve good for everyday carry?
Yes. The Valve is purpose-built as an EDC knife. At 3 ounces and 5.5 inches overall, it's light and compact enough to carry all day, and the deep-carry pocketclip keeps it low and discreet. The stonewashed drop-point blade handles typical cutting tasks reliably.
How does the SpeedSafe assisted opening work?
Push the flipper (the small lever on the spine of the blade) and the assist mechanism rapidly deploys the blade—giving you fast, one-handed opening when you need it.
What's the blade steel, and how does it perform?
The Valve uses 4Cr14 stainless steel, which holds an edge well for everyday cutting and resists corrosion. It's a proven mid-range stainless steel common in quality production knives.
Is this knife right-handed or ambidextrous?
The single-position deep-carry pocketclip is configured for right tip-up carry, which is standard for right-handed users. The flipper design works for both right and left-handed operation.
