Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Looks good and is a very functional edc knife. These are the same partners as zero tolerance and other elite brands.

Cpm s30v is a martensitic (hardened) powder-made (sintered) wear and corrosion resistant stainless steel. Its chemistry promotes the formation and even distribution of vanadium carbides, which are harder and more effective at cutting than chromium car...  Read More

Speedsafe is a much more consistent, solid lockup. The liner lock is very secure from my testing. The spring and lock are well done and feel sturdy.

I wish it had a hilt or finger indent behind the blad to further lessen the risk of slipping the hand onto the blade. Great price for a s30v knife.

If you are blur fan then this is for you. I'm not someone who write reviews, but i felt compelled to do so. As has become one of my favorite knives out of my rather extensive collection.



Cons

Quality


Heavy duty works great and opens fast


This is a high quality everyday tool that you could hand down to your little ones some day when appropriate.

The pot-bellied blade profile and the aluminum grips were enough for me to return this knife.

Price


If you like this size of knife it's a great one, especially for the price.

Competitiveness


Overall i think kershaw make great value knives, and this is no exception.


Od love it if kershaw made those versions in s30v as well.


No, it is not a benchmade knife and anyone comparing it to a high end knife is just being silly.


Also compared with authentic model at a knife store.
