Kershaw Misdirect 2.9" 80s Splatter

The Misdirect is part of Kershaw's popular Starter Series, value-priced knives with striking style and solid performance. The Misdirect is no exception. It offers Kershaw's folding, a reverse tanto blade, and a minimalist look that's sleek and modern. Slim styling makes it easy to EDC, too.

Knife Lover Notes

• Why it stands out: The combination of 4Cr14 blade steel, a tanto profile, and Liner Lock gives this knife a clearly defined working purpose.
• What it feels like: A carry-focused folder designed for secure handling, controlled use, and regular maintenance.

Sharpening Advice from Apex Edgeworks

4Cr14 performs best with light, regular touch-ups. Follow the existing bevel, use even pressure, and avoid heavy grinding until the edge truly needs repair.
