KERSHAW KS1990 — SPEEDSAFE A/O, BLACK TRACTION-COATED TANTO BLADE, BLACK GRN HANDLE, MADE IN CHINA
Compact, tactical, and fast — the KS1990 is a rugged assisted opener built for everyday utility with a defensive edge.
The Kershaw KS1990 is a mid-sized assisted-opening folder designed for durability and quick deployment. Its 3″ tanto blade, crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, is finished with a black traction coating for added wear resistance and a stealthy look. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for piercing strength, while the straight edge excels at push cuts and utility work. The SpeedSafe assisted opening system ensures rapid, one-handed deployment via the thumb stud or extended tang. A textured black GRN (glass-reinforced nylon) handle keeps the knife lightweight yet grippy, making it a reliable EDC option.
