Antic

The Kershaw Antic is a compact everyday carry knife designed for mechanics, technicians, and automotive enthusiasts who demand reliable cutting performance in confined spaces. With a blade length of 1.9 inches, it delivers the cutting geometry and control needed for precision tasks without bulk. This knife is ideal for working under the hood, breaking down packaging, or managing small detail work on vehicle interiors.

Built with a stainless steel handle finished in navy blue PVD coating, the Antic resists corrosion from shop environments, coolant splash, and road salt exposure. The frame lock mechanism provides rock-solid blade retention during heavy cutting tasks, while jimping on both the blade spine and handle scales ensures a secure grip even when hands are wet or gloved. The knife's design combines practical utility with a professional appearance.

The compact size of the Antic makes it a valuable tool for professionals who work around vehicles, including shop techs, fleet maintenance crews, restorers, and DIY enthusiasts tackling restoration projects. Its under-2-inch blade profile offers substantial belly and curve geometry for slicing, making it ideal for hose trimming, electrical work, or any application requiring controlled, accurate cuts in tight working quarters.
