Product Description
The Kershaw Wharf 1414 puts the cutting performance of a compact cleaver into a lightweight, pocket-friendly folding knife. Its 2.8-inch wide cleaver blade provides a broad cutting area and a gradual edge that makes it particularly useful for everyday work tasks.
The stonewashed 8Cr13MoV blade offers a practical combination of toughness, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. A finger choil and extended jimping on the spine allow you to choke up on the blade for greater control during precision cutting.
The Wharf uses SpeedSafe assisted opening with a flipper, providing quick and consistent deployment. Its liner lock secures the blade during use, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip supports convenient right- or left-handed, tip-up carry. Kershaw lists the knife at just 2.9 ounces.

Knife Depot Take
Our Take: The Wharf is a great example of how a different blade shape can completely change the character of an EDC. The wide cleaver blade gives you plenty of useful cutting edge, while the compact dimensions and 2.9-ounce weight keep it comfortable in the pocket.
We especially like the finger choil and extended jimping, which give you additional control when you need to choke up on the blade. If you want an EDC that looks different from the usual drop-point folders and still delivers practical everyday performance, the Wharf is worth a look.
