This is my Kershaw Whirlwind 1560. This is my second purchase of this knife. The first one I bought in 2005 I gave to my father-in-law, and he tore it up like a $2 suitcase.
This 3.5 ounce knife is only 4.5" closed with a blade length of 3.25" so that it is small enough to travel discreetly on your person or in your baggage or be a lightweight attachment to your clothing with the included pocket clip. The Ken Onion Design includes an easy open, Drop Point plain blade made of very strong 440A stainless steel with a 55-57 Rockwell hardness rating and heat-treated 410 stainless steel liners. The polyamide handle is easy to grip and the liner lock locks the blade in place for stable cutting action and less risk of accidents.
