Lightyear Folding Knife – 3.12 Inch Assisted Spear Point – Black GFN
The Kershaw Lightyear is a slim assisted-opening folding knife with a 3.125-inch 4Cr14 spear point blade and black glass-filled nylon handle. It is built as a lightweight everyday carry folder with SpeedSafe assisted opening and a liner lock.
This is the kind of EDC knife that keeps things simple: usable blade size, low weight, plain edge, and no circus act attached.
What it does
The Lightyear handles everyday carry cutting jobs like packaging, rope, tape, small material prep, and general utility work. The assisted flipper opening helps deploy the blade quickly with one hand.
Why it’s worth it
The Lightyear makes sense for customers who want a lightweight EDC folder without paying premium-knife money. It gives practical cutting length, simple carry, and assisted opening in a clean black package.

Verify before you buy
Check your local knife laws before purchase and carry. Assisted-opening knife rules are not the same everywhere, because apparently making laws confusing is a national sport.
