KS1830BLU: 1830BLU Oso Sweet - Blue
Kershaw Knives
This is indeed one sweet little pocket knife. The Oso Sweet features a classic drop point blade that gives you maximum workaday utility. First, the Oso Sweet opens one-handed with SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the ambidextrous flipper and the blade moves out of the handle ready for use. Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, your blade is easy to access and ready to go when you are. Kershaw heat-treats the 8Cr13MoV blade steel to bring out its high-performance characteristics like good edge retention, strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
The handle is glass-filled nylon for excellent durability and incorporates a textured 'scales' pattern that gives the Oso Sweet a unique look. A locking liner secures the blade during use and closes easily for pocket carry or storage. The pocket clip can be reversed for tip-up or tip-down carry. Once you get your hands on one and start using it, we think it will be pretty popular with you, too.

Sweet indeed
Had my eye on one of these for a while. The price wasn't coming down. There are more reviews on the black one, but I got this blue. It's nice and light, snaps open quickly. Not too tough to close. I like the blue. It's a little smaller than I expected as I usually carry >3.5", but I saw the length in the description. Could do worse.
