Great Everyday Carry Knife
 
Review Date: November 21, 2009
Reviewer: Jonathan T. Kurtz,
According to the laws in the state of Florida, it is legal for any citizen, as long as they have not committed a felony, to carry an automatic (switchblade) knife with a blade length no longer than 3.5 inches unconcealed. At first, that was the type of knife that I was more interested in purchasing with the same blade material as the Kershaw, which is S30v steel. This type of steel is extremely hard, very durable, and has a very good edge retention capability. The mechanism of the knife, in my opinion is very comparable to using an automatic knife. The DLC coating on the blade only reinforces the resistance to corrosion and other harmful elements and chemicals that can normally harm a blade. However, like I stated before, with S30v steel, this steel is more or less the premiere all around blade material for any user and is well known for its corrosion resitance. The locking mechanism, in my opinion, isn't a necessity only because of the rare chance of this knife opening without the user's intention of doing so. I carry this knife on a daily basis and have never encountered a problem with the lock being unengaged. The body of the knife feels solid and very well made. I have never had a problem gripping the knife while wet or slick. When holding this knife in your hand it seems very natural and feels like an extension of your body which can only be attributed to the methodical time that was placed into its design. To summarize, if you have a need for premium steel and an all together well made knife by Ken Onion, this knife would be very hard not to reccommend.
great knife!

This is a great knife! I would most deffinatly recomend this knife to anyone who wants a super quick opening knife!

It did take me alittle while to get it warmed up and have the speed safe to work perfect. I am just perfecting my opening skills... haha...
I have noticed that the knife opens slightly harder with the left hand.. (i am a lefty) but that is no problem!

All and all..... a great knife... not to to heavy and fits hand perfectly(left or right!)



5/5 and would recomend to everyone!!! SUPER QUICK OPENING POWER!
Sweet

Had for more than 2 years still like new. One down side I'm left handed and you can't switch the clip or the blade post.
A VERY FINE KNIFE

Reviewer: D. Passamani,
The knife actually has s30v steel, as it says on kershaw's website and on the knife blade it's self. I was planning on sending it back untill i got the knife and saw that it has the steel advertised on the manufacturer's website, not the s60v advertised on this page
Good knife, Great customer service.

pros: good strong sharp sturdy knife. good customer service (something breaks or needs replacing, kerhsaw will fix or replace the knife for free. or if your like me and like fixing things yourself, kershaw will send you the pieces you need (just not the blade) also for free)

cons: need to replace torsion bar every 10,000 openings (actually less, mine broke after only one month) pivot screw loosens frequently. heavy and large.

great for outdoor use but a bit too big and heavy for everyday use. if you don't mind the weight and size, it's a darn good knife.
