Kershaw Reverb Knife

Compact Carabiner Folder

The Kershaw Reverb (model 1220) is a small folding knife with a working carabiner built into the back of its handle. You can clip it to a belt loop, pack strap or key ring instead of dropping it loose in a pocket, and it still carries a pocket clip if you prefer to wear it that way. Size it for everyday cutting jobs: opening boxes, trimming cord, cutting tape and the small tasks that come up on the job site, at camp or around the house.

Features

• 8Cr13MoV Stainless Blade — The blade is marked 8Cr13MoV, a stainless steel that resists rust, takes a keen edge and is easy to resharpen at home.
• Two-Tone Blade Finish — A dark gray coated flat contrasts with a brushed satin swedge and spine for a sharp, angular look.
• Angular Tanto-Style Profile — The blade has a straight, angled point and a long flat edge that suits precise cuts and slicing.
• Integrated Carabiner — A wire-gate clip formed into the handle butt lets you hang the knife from gear, loops or keys.
• Frame Lock — Part of the steel handle side springs behind the open blade to hold it in place until you push it aside to close.
• Carbon Fiber Pattern Front Scale — The front handle scale has a black woven texture that adds grip in the hand.
• Stainless Steel Back Frame — The rear handle side is brushed steel, which forms the lock and gives the frame its rigidity.
• Pocket Clip — A low-profile clip on the steel side offers a second carry option alongside the carabiner.
• Exposed Hardware — Black screws hold the handle together, so you can service and clean the knife.

Build And Carry

The handle pairs a textured black front scale with a brushed stainless back frame, and the carabiner and lock are both cut from that frame instead of being bolted on. The blade is stamped with the Kershaw model number 1220, the KAI mark and its 8Cr13MoV steel grade. The knife is compact enough to sit in a closed fist with the blade forward, as the in-hand photo shows, which makes it an easy one to carry daily without noticing the weight.
