Code: KS1438Related products
Product detailed description
The Kershaw Maneuver 1438 is an affordable and highly reliable folding knife designed for honest, everyday work as well as demanding tasks on the job. The blade, featuring a versatile drop-point profile with a durable stonewash finish, is made of easy-to-maintain 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, which provides solid cutting performance and effectively masks minor scuffs caused by heavy use.
The handle, in an elegant dark bronze shade, is made of textured glass-filled nylon (GFN), ensuring a firm and secure grip even when wearing gloves. Additionally, the integrated index finger groove on the underside allows for a secure hand position, enabling precise and delicate cuts. The user-friendly DuraLock mechanism ensures reliable locking and comfortable ambidextrous operation. Although the Maneuver is slightly larger than typical slim EDC knives, it retains a profile thin enough for comfortable pocket carry, offering an excellent balance between structural strength, practicality, and affordability.

The American brand Kershaw has earned international recognition through modern technology, user-friendly design, and long-term durability. Its range covers everyday carry pocket knives as well as kitchen knives built for frequent, demanding use. Practical performance stands at the core of the brand’s philosophy, noticeable from the first cut. Compact construction supports easy carry, while materials and assembly maintain a solid, dependable feel.
A key technical feature involves the SpeedSafe assisted opening system. This mechanism allows fast, smooth one-handed deployment without complex handling. Assisted opening improves control and safety, and the knives are generally not classified as automatic, which helps with legality across many regions. Blade geometry and steel selection focus on edge retention, consistent cutting behavior, and straightforward maintenance.
Kershaw kitchen knives address a wide audience, from home cooks to more advanced users. Various blade profiles and handle shapes support different cutting styles and preferences. Attention to ergonomics reduces hand fatigue during longer prep sessions, adding real value in everyday cooking. Being part of the Japanese KAI group alongside Zero Tolerance and Shun strengthens quality control and shared innovation.
