Class and precision
I've been collecting Kershaw here and there but never jumped on one a month after they hit the market but I pulled the trigger quick on this one .everything about this knife says Kershaw and when DCA did a review on it I was impressed the blade ,the handle and button lock unassisted flipper tab and zero thumb studs is exactly what I would want if I designed it myself. A wicked grind on this blade as well.
