Kershaw has been making high-quality knives since 1974, and the Misdirect is a standout example. This compact folding knife is ideal for everyday use on everything from chopping wood to box sawing and more. It has a small footprint—it’s just 4 inches long when closed—but its frame hides a 2.9-inch blade. The Misdirect features a flip tab for a smooth opening and a frame lock to keep the knife secure and secure during use. On the handle, a three-position clip lets you carry the knife on your left or right side with the blade up or the blade down, and you can secure it to a backpack or jacket using a piece of lanyard and the frame loop on one end.
The Misdirect has been garnering rave reviews left and right. One customer called it the “perfect EDC knife,” saying it “checks all the boxes,” adding, “Overall, it’s the best form factor of any EDC-type knife I’ve owned.”
