Kershaw Shuffle Knife 8700 - Blackwash Finish with Purple Handle

In the world of cutlery, where utility and aesthetics often find themselves at odds, Kershaw's BlackWash Purple Shuffle Plain Edge Knife stands as a testament to thoughtful design and practical application. This compact tool is not merely a knife; it embodies versatility in its purest form. Whether you require a reliable work companion or an everyday multi-function pocketknife, this Shuffle answers the call with unwavering competence.

At first glance, its vibrant purple handle might capture your attention—an attribute that certainly sets it apart from more mundane offerings. Yet beneath this striking exterior lies an impressive array of features designed for those who understand the value of preparedness.

Crafted with precision from robust stainless steel, specifically 8CR13MOV with a distinctive BlackWash finish, the blade offers commendable hardness and resilience. Measuring at just 2.4 inches (6.1 cm), it balances accessibility with functionality—a crucial factor when considering ease of use versus carrying convenience.

The handle itself is constructed from glass-filled nylon adorned with K-Texture grip patterns—ensuring that whether your hands are wet or dry, control remains firmly within your grasp. Despite its solid construction and durable materials, the knife maintains a featherlight weight of only 2.8 ounces (79.4 grams).

Further enhancing its practicality is the inclusion of a reversible pocket clip suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users alike—a small yet significant feature ensuring quick access regardless of orientation preferences.

While some may lament the absence of SpeedSafe assisted opening or flipper mechanisms found in other models, such simplicity should be appreciated by purists who favor straightforward reliability over mechanical complexity.
