Kershaw Hectic - Bead Blasted Stainless Steel Handle - Stonewash 8Cr13MoV Wharncliffe Blade - 1443

8Cr13MoV Frame Lock with Stainless Steel Handle

The Kershaw Hectic is a practical everyday carry knife built for straightforward cutting tasks. Its Wharncliffe blade and assisted flipper opening make it a quick, reliable tool for trimming, opening boxes, and detail work.

Blade

The 3.05" Wharncliffe blade is made from 8Cr13MoV steel with a stonewash finish. 8Cr13MoV is an affordable stainless steel that takes an edge easily and resharpens without much effort, making it practical for daily use. The stonewash finish helps conceal scratches and fingerprints from regular handling. The Wharncliffe profile gives a straight cutting edge with a controlled tip, ideal for precise, straight-line cuts.

Handle

The handle is stainless steel with a bead-blasted finish, built with tube spacers for a clean, all-metal look. It's a durable, low-maintenance material that holds up well to daily wear. The knife weighs 3.6oz, giving it a solid, substantial feel in hand.

Carry

A frame lock secures the blade open, using part of the handle frame itself to lock against the blade tang for a sturdy, easy-to-disengage lockup. Opening is assisted, so the flipper tab gives the blade a boost into the open position. The reversible deep-carry pocket clip supports both left and right-hand, tip-up or tip-down carry.
