Like the rest of the series, the Filter is named for an automotive part and offers a machined look and smooth function.

The all-steel design really shows off the BlackWash finish put on both blade and handle. BlackWash gives the folder a unique well-worn look, yet the finish isn't just for looks. The coating provides an extra measure of protection for the metal and helps hide any additional scratches you might put on your knife during normal use.

The Filter folding knife is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening for fast and easy opening. It opens neatly with the built-in flipper or thumb stud. A sturdy frame lock safely secures the blade open during use, and then closes easily for storage or carry.

The Kershaw Filter includes a deep-carry pocket clip and thus rides comfortably low in your pocket for discreet carry.
