Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The swerve has a little more heft to it than the kershaw clash. Tip up is the only carry option, but the clip is reversible to allow safe carry in right pocket (how it arrives) or left pocket.

Speedsafe has a narrower, more normal looking blade vs. Clash. Flipper and dual thumbstuds are completely ambidextrous. Only complaint is it doesn't deploy very fast and i * at using the stud method.

I'm a longtime kershaw fan, but there is always the question of if the quality it going to survive the trip to china. It's craftsmanship is like it's made in usa. I am still looking to replace the * i loved, this is a great substitute and will be love... Read More

Swerve looks wider and thicker when closed. It closes easily and everything is nice and in line. Great assist open.

Packaging/appearance

The blade is well made, but i'm also assuming that these blades will hold their edge more than the older ones (i keep on going ... Read More

The deep carry pocket clip is nice because it keeps a low profile and keeps it out of the way.

Competitiveness

As a prepper and survivalist, this is a great every day carry knife.

You are getting a lot more knife than the typical hardware store or truck stop blister pack, better than walmart's ozark brand.

The point could be a little more pointier.

Worth the less than $20 price tag.
