## Description

Small but mighty, the Kershaw Appa packs tactical performance into a compact design that easily tucks into your pocket – while staying ready for whatever the day brings. The 2.75” reverse tanto plain edge blade offers improved edge retention, strength and hardness for a wide range of cutting tasks. The black glass-filled nylon handle features cutouts for a lightweight hold, and added texture for comfortable all-day carry. Designed for safety, the assisted opening allows for quick, secure blade retrieval and features a liner lock that holds the blade in place. Carry options include a reversible pocketclip and integrated lanyard hole. Whether you're heading to work, hitting the trails, or handling everyday tasks, the Kershaw Appa is the perfect lightweight companion.

Review: Knife - Great knife. Very sharp, easy to open and close, light weight, great size. This is the knife I carry every day. If I lost it I'd buy another just like it. Not the most expensive knife I own but my favorite.
Review: A knife you'll actually carry - I have a number of folding knives that run the gamut of quality and function. My Buck 110 is a beautifully made and even functional knife but generally too big for EDC. I suspect that is the case with many knife collectors who get folders with 4" or larger blades because the knife looks "cool" or it's well-made and designed. This little Kershaw might not seem like a manly enough knife but it fulfills it's role as something you'll carry constantly without you or anyone else being aware of its presence. It's easy for my long fingers to manipulate and it opens in a flash with just the right amount of pressure from your index finger. The blade does not fly open if you inadvertently drop the knife and it stays closed securely in a pocket. Blade has a sharp point and a gradual curve that I find useful for most light duty tasks. The clip is secure and deep enough without the knife being difficult to locate and draw. There is a trapezoidal lanyard hole for those rare birds who like to use them. I find that all-black knives fulfill one function all too well- they're difficult to find in the dark if you drop them. I guess the desire for that "tactical" look overrides functionality. I cut a couple of small pieces of reflective tape to put on the flat portions of the scales to help me locate it in that situation. Overall, this Chinese made knife is well worth the $15 price and is likely to become an EDC knife that never sees a storage box or display case.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Satisfied
*by S***F on January 29, 2026*

For a sub $20 knife not on sale this is a good knife. It is light, thin and small. The opening and closing action is safe and predictable if this is your first flick open action knife. If you have had more expensive and more experience with knives then look elsewhere if you think this cheapie will compare to more expensive knives. It was sharp pointy out of the box.
