Frequently Asked Questions

What carry options does the 3-position clip support?

The adjustable 3-position clip lets you change carry height and cant angle, so you can dial in tip-up or tip-down carry, high-ride or low-ride positioning—whatever works best with your pocket, waistband, or gear setup.

Is the Kershaw Misdirect good for everyday carry?

Yes. At 3 inches with a lightweight profile, it's designed specifically for everyday carry use. The reverse tanto blade handles typical cutting tasks, and the compact size won't weigh down or bulk up your EDC rotation.

What does frame lock mean?

A frame lock is a locking mechanism where part of the handle frame moves to secure the blade in the open position, preventing accidental closure during use. It's a proven, reliable system that's easy to deploy and disengage.

What is the rainbow PVD finish?

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a durable coating applied to the blade and handle. The rainbow version creates an iridescent, multi-colored effect that's both visually distinctive and protective, giving your Misdirect a unique appearance.
