The Kershaw Barstow 3960 is a slim, purpose-built folding spear point knife that strips away the unnecessary and delivers solid everyday carry performance. With its 3-inch blade, assisted-opening action, and reversible deep-carry pocket clip, the Barstow is built for hunters, outdoor workers, and anyone who values a compact knife that gets the job done without flash. The spear-point geometry excels at utility tasks—piercing, detail work, and general cutting—while the single-edge grind keeps the design clean and efficient.
The blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel finished with Kershaw's BlackWash coating, a non-reflective treatment that not only protects the steel but also conceals the wear scratches that come with real use. No fussy polishing required; this knife looks ready from day one. The handle is black glass-filled nylon with an aggressive arrow-pattern texture that grips securely even with wet or gloved hands. Kershaw backed the design with a stout steel liner and matching BlackWash finish, anchoring a reliable liner lock that holds the blade rock-solid during cutting and carving. Subtle blue-anodized tube spacers provide just a touch of visual distinction without compromising the no-nonsense aesthetic.
The Barstow opens fast thanks to SpeedSafe assisted opening and a built-in flipper, so you're not fumbling one-handed when you need the blade. The reversible pocket clip rides deep, letting you tuck the knife out of sight in either tip-up or tip-down carry orientation. For backcountry tasks, camp duty, hunting trips, or daily pocket carry, the Barstow delivers practical, compact reliability at a value that won't strain your budget.
