Kershaw Flatbed Assisted Folding Knife 3 1/8" Blade Black

The Kershaw Flatbed Assisted Folding Knife with 3 1/8" blade delivers a purpose-built platform for operators, law enforcement, and field professionals who need reliable cutting performance without compromise. The tanto blade geometry excels at controlled piercing cuts and detailed work—a profile favored in tactical environments where precision matters. BlackWash blade and handle inlays reduce light reflection and conceal field use, critical in low-visibility operations where equipment visibility can be a liability.

At 3 1/8 inches, the blade balances cutting capability with practical carry constraints. The assisted opening mechanism enables one-handed deployment under stress or while gloved—essential for emergency personnel and tactical operators. G10-textured handle scales provide positive grip and control in wet conditions, critical for field use where slip can degrade cutting control. The deep-carry pocket clip positions the knife low in the waistband, minimizing profile and compatibility with duty belts, body armor carriers, and off-body storage systems. Compact footprint and lightweight construction (0.25 lbs) mean this knife adds minimal weight to field loads without sacrificing cutting authority.

This knife serves professionals requiring immediate blade access during patrol, evidence handling, equipment maintenance, and emergency response. The Flatbed's design philosophy prioritizes utility over flash—it solves real problems without unnecessary features. Tanto blades are proven in military and law enforcement applications, where edge geometry directly impacts operational effectiveness. For teams and individuals standardizing on Kershaw's Assisted series, the Flatbed integrates seamlessly with existing holster and carry solutions.

Kershaw knives are engineered and assembled in the United States, meeting the expectations of professional users who depend on consistent, verifiable quality. The Flatbed's Starter Series positioning makes it accessible for teams building foundational loadouts while maintaining the performance standards Kershaw's user base expects.
