Aggressive, fast, and versatile — the Clash is a Ken Onion-designed assisted opener built for hard use.

The Kershaw Clash (KS1605CKTST) is a tactical-inspired assisted-opening folder that balances utility with speed. Its 3″ partially serrated blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, finished in black oxide for a stealthy, wear-resistant look. The serrations add extra cutting power for rope, cord, and fibrous materials, while the plain edge section handles precision slicing. Designed by Ken Onion, the Clash features Kershaw’s SpeedSafe assisted opening system for rapid deployment via the flipper tab. A textured black injection-molded handle provides a secure grip, and the black stainless steel pocket clip ensures discreet carry.
