Kershaw 1610 Ken Onion / Frank Centofante Pocket KnifeSpeedSafe - Sliding Safety Switch - Retired / rare / vintage / brand new in box (new old stock)
A rare crossover collaboration between custom knife legend Frank Centofante and Kershaw custom designer Ken Onion, the Kershaw 1610 represents a iconic chapter in early 2000s pocket knife manufacturing. Originally released in the early 2000s and long since retired, this collectable model seamlessly fuses Centofante's timeless custom styling with Onion’s revolutionary SpeedSafe assisted opening technology. The modified drop-point blade is crafted from premium high-carbon 440A stainless steel, delivering excellent corrosion resistance, razor-sharp edge holding, and a clean satin finish for everyday utility tasks. This is a smaller, more convenient-to-carry EDC blade that you won't even realize is in your pocket.
The handle showcases a classic two-tone aesthetic, pairing lightweight polished stainless steel liners and 6061-T6 burgundy/maroon red anodized aluminum scales. Designed for smooth, rapid single-handed deployment, a light nudge of the integrated thumb stud fires the blade open via the internal SpeedSafe spring system, locking up securely with a robust liner lock mechanism. Compact, lightweight, and engineered with historic collector appeal, the Kershaw 1610 Centofante is a standout addition to any Kershaw collection or vintage carry setup.
