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 SpeedSafe assisted opening and the built-in flipper. Slightly oversized, the flipper doubles as a finger guard when the blade is opened.
