Pretty little thing
The ergos aren't great. But you get your money's worth with this one.. If nothing else it's quite different from most Kershaw offerings. Kershaw's quality control has always been a bit dicey in my view. Looks like I got a good one this time around Small & pretty. With a cross-bar lock, (I'm. A Lefty). I Like it.

Classic Kershaw
This knife is yet another win for Kershaw - to be honest, it's what Kershaw should always be. Under-promise and over-deliver. I've seen their prices creep up into ZT territory as of late for mundane materials, and I'm not thrilled at all to see it. This Mini Iridium has beautiful blue aluminum scales, gold colored pivots and a thoughtful gold colored backspacer. The blade material is D2 steel, which wants to rust when I look at it funny. So if you are living in a humid or wet environment, leave this beauty at home. It requires a little more attention to make sure the blade stays in top condition. It did not come to me very sharp out of the box, so I gotta ding it on that. But the workmanship is excellent, locking mechanism is smooth and easy to manipulate, finish on the materials is top notch.
