Designed as a slim, effective, and attractive knife, the Lightyear is part of the Kershaw Starter Series. The first thing users will notice about the Lightyear is its horn-like profile. Despite the handle's slim design, it stays ergonomic in the hand for long periods of time. The grippy handle is made of glass-filled nylon, featuring recessed grooves that are pleasing to the eye and hand. A spear point blade provides plenty of cutting area and strength for most work tasks. Finally, a deep-carry clip keeps the knife discreet in the pocket. 5Cr15MoV blade steel offers good corrosion resistance, easy sharpening, high strength; bead-blasted finish provides a subtle, matte look. For a good quality "first knife", or an inexpensive EDC, the Lightyear from Kershaw is an excellent choice.
