The reverse tanto blade shape adds durability and provides an ideal angle for cutting through boxes and other everyday jobs. The slim design makes it easy to carry, and its razor-sharp blade of high-performance Sandvik 14C28N means it can take care of a full range of cutting tasks.

Great EDC version
The extra reinforcement at the tip helps this knife a lot in situations like dropping it, or other accidents as well as giving a very predictable slicing performance from what is IMHO the best blade shape for Leeks. This is a great value, it isn't the best value ever, but it is a great value and a fantastic EDC option for anyone. This will sharpen easy, take a wickedly keen edge, keep that edge through hardship and wear, and still be pretty forgiving when sharpening it.It's a classic for a reason. Kershaw did well by bringing it back. They should extend the family line with Random Variants. I have ideas... :-)

Pros: Weight, Handle Material, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel, Lock Ease of Use
Bought It Just To Have It Represented In My Collection!
While I don't have an issue with the weight, I must agree the handles are a little slick, which causes me to fail frequently on deployment. Also, my personal example has a very early lock-up, and sometimes Doesn't lock up at all, nor stay locked, which undoubtedly further exacerbates this issue, thus only 3 stars! All that having been said, I like the knife, and welcome it to my collection as an example of this blade shape. Meanwhile, I will work on its action, hoping to tweak it to better behaviour! (BTW; this knife was incredlbly sharp out of the box!)
