With a blade length of just 2 inches, the Kershaw Spoke is easy to take along just about anywhere. But even with such a compact blade, this knife is plenty useful. It slices through tasks quickly and easily because the Spoke's big blade belly provides plenty of cutting surface-even though the overall blade length is shorter. The knife opens quickly and easily with Kershaw's assisted opening and the built-in flipper. Slightly oversized, the flipper doubles as a finger guard when the blade is opened.
