So good, I bought 2!
When it comes to affordable, well built and well designed knives, Kershaw delivers with the Layup. It's sharp, takes a beating and comes back for more. I'd prefer G10 scales, but the nylon scales are fine.

I've been a Kershaw fan for a long time until now all of my pocket knives 3 inch blade ,3 oz approx for my right front pocket carry but I bought this one because it was a little beefier outdoorsy by the no frills good grip solid feel of the handle stonewashed assisted flipper with a duraloc it's D2 steel comes very sharp ready to work ,very good action as well .I would have preferred a manual flipper with a frame lock . But it is a great knife so far .Good value for the money .
