Tradition meets modern design in the Esteem. This non-locking slipjoint knife features a double detent system: two steel detent balls, one on each side of the blade. They hold the blade safely closed for carrying. Then, for controlled open and close, the Esteem also has a half-open position. The elegant handle features a polished G10 and steel combo material. Fine details, including bronze PVD coating on the hardware, elevate the Esteem even further. All of this creates a slipjoint that users will cherish for a lifetime.

Kershaw 2032 Esteem Double Detent Slipjoint Folding Knife 2.5" Bead Blasted Drop Point Blade, Stainless Steel Handles with Black G10 Overlays
Not expecting a lot, but was very happy with this knife, it is wonderful. Fits in 5th pocket and is sharp and really fun to use. Th build and finish is great. This is worth buying for everyday uses. DCA and Seth know how to demonstrate so there are no surprises. Well worth the sale price.
Kershaw 2032 Esteem Double Detent Slipjoint Folding Knife 2.5" Bead Blasted Drop Point Blade, Stainless Steel Handles with Black G10 Overlays
Esteem is a well built, double-detent knife that has become my back-up EDC (fits perfectly in my watch pocket). Mostly using it as a glorified box-cutter. Great modern take on the traditional slip-joint. Blade has a good bit of belly which makes it good for a variety of daily tasks. It also has a half stop for safety, effectively making this a "triple-detent" knife. No Side-to-side blade play. It came shaving sharp out of the box. The 8Cr13MoV blade steel won't hold an edge for days but is easy to keep sharpened. Great knife for those seeking something in the sub 3" blade range, office/work option and/or people with smaller hands. At the current price it is a steal!
