I was on the fence for a while because I try and buy only US Made knives. I have however made a few exceptions lately. Got an amazing price on this one during a Knife Center Kershaw special, The action is silky smooth, blade shape is really great, love the green backspacer. Thumb studs are just about perfect. Feels solid in the hand, not too heavy, this one will find some pocket time!
