KERSHAW OUTRIGHT BLK SERR 3" BLK/PVD
The Kershaw Outright Black Serrated is a no-nonsense EDC folding knife built for hunters, outdoor workers, and anyone who needs reliable cutting performance in the field or around camp. This all-black tactical folder combines a 3-inch partially serrated blade with assisted opening, giving you speed and versatility when seconds count. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade holds an edge through real work, while the serrated section handles rope, webbing, and other materials that plain edges struggle with.
Kershaw engineered the Outright with a frame lock design—a proven, durable mechanism that keeps the blade locked securely during use. The black PVD coating resists scratches and corrosion, maintaining that stealthy aesthetic whether you're carrying it daily or stashing it in a pack. The trailing point, upswept blade profile gives you control for detail work and the reach to handle bigger tasks. Assisted opening means you deploy the blade fast, one-handed if you need to.
A deep carry clip keeps this knife low and discreet in your pocket, and the ergonomic handle ensures a solid grip even in wet or gloved hands. Whether you're processing game, working camp chores, or just need a capable blade on your belt, the Outright Black Serrated delivers without fuss or flash.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the plain edge and serrated version of the Outright?
This model features a partially serrated blade, meaning the cutting edge includes both smooth and saw-like sections. The serrated portion excels at slicing rope, webbing, and softer materials that plain edges can slip on, while the plain section handles fine detail work and regular cuts.
Is the Kershaw Outright Black good for hunting and field use?
Yes. The 3-inch blade, trailing point profile, and sharp edge make it capable for game processing and camp tasks. The assisted opening and frame lock give you a reliable, secure blade when you need it in the field.
How does the deep carry clip work?
The deep carry clip positions the knife low in your pocket, so more of the handle sits below the pocket opening. This keeps the knife discreet and reduces the chance of snagging on gear or drawing attention.
What does the black PVD coating do?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is a hard, durable finish that resists scratches and corrosion. On this Outright, it delivers the all-black tactical look while protecting the steel underneath from rust and wear.
