Folding Pocket Knife - Kershaw Runoff - 1429
Kershaw Runoff Pocket Knife with Button Lock Mechanism, KVT Ball Bearings, 8Cr13MoV Clip Point Blade, and Satin Finish
The Kershaw Runoff (Model 1429) everyday carry folding knife is an exceptionally compact and feature-rich option, designed to deliver outstanding performance at an unbeatable price. Its 7.9 cm blade is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, a steel known for taking an extremely sharp edge while remaining easy to sharpen when needed. The clip point blade geometry offers excellent piercing capability and precision control, while its attractive machine satin finish provides a clean, classic appearance.
The Runoff's greatest advantage is its incredibly smooth and satisfying operation. Manual deployment is lightning-fast via the integrated flipper, thanks to the KVT ball-bearing system. For blade security, it utilizes a robust steel button lock mechanism, allowing safe one-handed closing while keeping fingers away from the blade path. The handle is constructed from glass-filled nylon (GFN) with a dual-textured surface for a secure and comfortable grip. An olive-colored backspacer with an integrated lanyard loop adds both visual appeal and functionality. The knife is completed with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for left- or right-side carry.
Ideal Uses
- Everyday Carry (EDC): Weighing only 85 grams and featuring an extremely compact design, it fits comfortably in any pocket or travel bag. The deep-carry clip ensures a discreet carry profile with minimal visibility.
- Tasks Requiring Piercing Cuts: The clip point blade design makes it ideal for opening tough plastic packaging (blister packs), piercing straps, marking materials, and performing precision cutting tasks.
- Fans of Smooth & Fidget-Friendly Mechanisms: The combination of KVT bearings and a button lock creates one of the smoothest and most enjoyable opening and closing systems available, perfect for users who appreciate premium mechanical action.
- Workshop & Toolbox Use: An exceptionally reliable companion for tradespeople, warehouse workers, and DIY enthusiasts who need a knife ready to cut rope, cardboard, and various materials quickly with one hand.
Key Features & Benefits

Tactical Corner Tip: Button Lock Care, Bearing Maintenance & Satin Blade Protection
Maintaining the Button Lock & KVT Bearings: Knives combining a button lock and KVT bearings offer exceptional smoothness but require periodic cleaning. Pocket lint and debris can accumulate around the button recess or pivot, creating a rough operating feel. Never use heavy grease or WD-40, as they can create sticky buildup that slows the mechanism. Clean the area thoroughly with compressed air, then apply a single drop of high-quality lightweight knife lubricant around the button lock and bearing pivot, cycling the mechanism several times to distribute the lubricant evenly.
Cleaning & Protecting the Satin Finish: Important Tip: The machine satin finish highlights the fine machining lines of the steel, but those microscopic grooves can also retain moisture and food acids more easily. After each use, wash the blade with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft microfiber cloth. Dry it thoroughly immediately afterward. Never use abrasive kitchen pads or steel wool, as they will permanently damage the factory satin finish and create visible scratches.
