Kershaw Hub Aftereffect Folding Knife 1 7/10 Blade Black

The Kershaw Hub Aftereffect Folding Knife with a 1.7" blade is a compact everyday carry tool designed by renowned blade engineer Jens Anso for mechanics, technicians, and automotive enthusiasts who need reliable cutting performance in a pocket-sized package. This lightweight folder excels in tight workshop environments where larger fixed blades are impractical, making it ideal for quick tasks during engine work, interior trim removal, or roadside repairs.

Its small footprint allows carry on a keychain or in a shirt pocket without bulk, addressing the real-world need for immediate access to a sharp blade when both hands are occupied with diagnostics or modifications. Built with a 1.7-inch blade and featuring a distinctive anodized blue aluminum backspacer, the Aftereffect combines steel cutting geometry with lightweight construction—at just 0.17 lbs, it adds negligible weight to your toolkit.

The oversized lanyard hole in the backspacer accommodates secure attachment to keychains, tool belts, or work bags, ensuring the knife stays within reach during complex automotive projects. The compact closed length of 4.75 inches means it fits discreetly in tight spaces without snagging on clothing or seat belts, while the 1.25-inch width maintains a low profile when deployed for precision cuts on fuel lines, wiring insulation, or gasket material.
