## Description

The Starter's design is machined and complex—yet smoothly functional. The BlackWash finish gives it a rough-and-tumble look, yet the finish isn’t just for looks. The coating provides an extra measure of protection for the steel and helps hide any additional scratches you put on the knife during normal use. The Starter is equipped with Kershaw's assisted opening for fast and easy one-handed opening. This multi-utility knife serves as the ideal everyday carry for hunting, fishing, camping, farming, gardening, self-defense, or cleaning fish. Small enough to fit in or clip onto your pocket, it’s a convenient carry knife. You can look to Kershaw for everyday carrying knives that can tame any cardboard box and liberate any purchase from its plastic packaging, sporting knives that make hunting, fishing, watersports, and camping even better, work knives that won’t let you down, and tactical knives that ensure you’re ready for anything.

Review: Great Budget Knife - My husband loves this thing. I am a long time fan of Kershaw knives and typically carry a Kershaw Leek. My husband is a knife connoisseur but is also notorious for losing knives so he's been through a bunch of them; both higher end and super budget, cheap knives. He was complaining about breaking his latest cheap knife so I searched desertcart for something more durable yet still budget friendly and stumbled upon this one. It's a decent knife, especially considering the price point! This knife is not small so pay attention to the dimensions when buying. While I like the knife I would not personally carry this one as an EDC knife because it's too large for me. Women's pockets are stupid small and even if they weren't, the size of this one is just too big for me. However, it's perfect for my husband! He is impressed with the weight of the knife and he loves the spring assist. This is the first knife he's had with that feature and now he's wondering how he's never had a knife with it. I've been trying to tell him for years how nice it is but you know, husbands lol. He's been carrying the knife for a couple of months now and it's holding up really well. He's a carpenter by trade so while he has all the fancy tools he will often pull his knife out to cut, pry, poke, prod or whatever he needs at the moment. In the past he's broken knife tips off, dulled the heck out of them, lost them and even had the whole thing just fall apart in his hand. This Kershaw is showing no signs of wear, is still holding a good blade edge and is holding its own against my knife maiming husband where many had already met their doom. Despite exposure to copious amounts of sawdust and debris the spring assist is still operating smoothly and the pocket clip is tight enough that the knife is secure in his pocket and doesn't fall out randomly. Overall we're both impressed with the durability and quality of it especially for the price point. I'd have bought one for myself if it were just a little smaller.
Review: Perfect EDC Knife - Reliable and Versatile - I’ve been carrying the Kershaw Starter 1301BW as my everyday pocket knife for a while now, and it’s become an essential part of my daily gear. The edge retention on this knife is impressive - it keeps a nice, sharp edge even with regular use. Whether I’m opening packages, cutting cord, or tackling other daily tasks, it performs consistently well. One feature I particularly appreciate is how handy it is for opening beer bottles. It’s become my go-to bottle opener, and the knife handles it without any issues. For the price point, the Kershaw Starter delivers excellent value. It’s reliable, well-made, and perfectly suited for everyday carry. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dependable pocket knife that won’t break the bank.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Handsome sturdy knife.
*by S***D on August 12, 2023*

Handsome sturdy knife. Sharp. Like the knife, but too heavy and big for me to edc. Though designed in USA, manufactured in China. Kershaw makes great knives, but I don't like the China connection.
