Product Description
The Kershaw Flyby 1404 is a sleek, compact everyday-carry knife that combines a high-performance D2 tool steel blade with a durable stainless steel handle. Its modified Wharncliffe blade shape provides an efficient cutting profile that's particularly well suited to utility tasks.
The 3-inch D2 blade features Kershaw's black-oxide BlackWash™ finish, giving the knife a rugged, subdued appearance while helping conceal everyday wear. The blade deploys quickly with Kershaw's assisted-opening flipper, and the sturdy frame lock provides secure lockup during use.
A gray PVD-coated stainless steel handle provides durability while keeping the design sleek and streamlined. The extra-deep-carry pocket clip and custom backspacer complete the Flyby's practical EDC design.
