Kershaw 1409 Korra 2.75" Black

The Kershaw 1409 Korra 2.75" Black is a no-nonsense folding knife built for everyday carry and field work without the premium price tag. Part of Kershaw's Starter Series, the Korra pairs assisted opening speed with a thoughtful blade geometry and ergonomic handle design—the kind of practical tool that earns a permanent spot in your pocket or pack. Whether you're breaking down cardboard at camp, processing game in the field, or just need a sharp blade within easy reach, the Korra delivers reliable cutting performance without fuss.

The blade uses a high hollow grind that prioritizes slicing ability—that concave edge geometry creates a keen cutting geometry that makes quick work of rope, cord, and soft materials. The stonewash finish on the blade adds durability while minimizing visible wear over time. A plain edge (no serrations) keeps things simple and easy to maintain; you can touch up the edge with any basic sharpening stone when needed. The drop point profile is a time-tested design that balances tip strength with general cutting utility.

Handle comfort matters on a knife you'll use regularly, and the Korra's contoured shape and textured surface keep the blade stable during extended use. The grip won't slip or rotate in a wet palm, and the overall ergonomics feel natural whether you're right-handed or working at an odd angle. Assisted opening means the blade deploys fast and smooth—one flick of the thumb or finger, and you're ready to work.
