I have had one of these for 10 years, but recently purchased a second one because I was having to move them between the RV and house. This case on the newer version is so much better and the second handle is a great improvement.

Every outdoor person or cook should have a Deluxe Blade Trader in their set.
Don't go hunting without Kershaw

Great product. Used it the same week I received the knives field dressing and debonning a Deer. Very sharp with no problems at all. Everyone that has seen this knive set wants one of their own.
Great idea!

I bought version 1 quite a few years ago and loved it. What a novel idea. The blades are very good quality and the handle/latch mechanism works great. It only came with 1 handle tho so could only be used by 1 person. This 2nd generation kit has 2 handles and the case is better made so they've improved it. I use it camping or going over to a friend's house for a cookup, anyplace away from home. Wish it came with a smaller utility blade but that's the only quibble I've got.

BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THE CASE. Very sharp. when members of my family saw and used this set they all bought one for themselves.
Pretty Good, I Guess...

It comes with 2 handles (which are nicely rubberized for a sure grip, even if your hands are slippery); to insert or change a blade, you flip up the bolster with your thumb. The nylon case is 6 x 9 x 2 and has lots of Velcro and 2 loops, presumably for your belt; I find it too big and klunky for that, but the loops would probably work on an external pack strap. I just stick in my pack. The blades are firmly seated in the case, but this is actually a problem: it is not easy to take out and put back the blades, and I cut myself a couple of times.

It comes with a generous selection of 6 blades: 6 inch chef, 6 ½ inch blunt tip serrated bread (sort of like a short roast beef slicer), 6 inch fillet (which is fairly stiff not flexible enough for fish), 6 inch wood saw (which I have not used), 6 inch carving (which kind of looks like a long-ish steak knife), and a 5 ½ inch utility (which sort of looks like the carving except it is serrated, and is suppose to be an all purpose blade). All knives are marked `Kai' and `China', except the wood saw which is Japanese and came in a paper wrapping with Japanese script.

As is, this kit is convenient and cleverly designed. The blades are good quality, roughly the equivalent of medium-priced gourmet kitchen knives. The only 2 blades I ever use are the chef and utility (because the serrations are more aggressive than the bread blade), so it is not as versatile as you might think. My main complaint is that all knives are a rather smallish 6 inches, since they have to fit in the nifty carrying case.

As a picnic knife set, it has earned a permanent place in the picnic basket or backpack, since it is a compact, very complete knife kit that can simply be tossed into the pack along with the other picnic supplies. If you have the room, I tend to use one of those plastic luggage things full of cheap knives that include a cutting board.
