Classic Lines, Modern Design

I have always liked traditional knives, but I have been spoiled by modern locks and materials. The moment I saw the Ahoy, I thought it looked amazing. Getting it in hand confirmed it. The handles are smooth, warm and comfortable, and the flipper action is perfect. The lock disengages without any hot spots or pinching, and the high flat grind and M390 steel glide through cuts. The Desert Ironwood handles are gorgeous, and they feel very tough and durable, which I was concerned about with a wood scale. The fit and finish was perfect as well, with dead center centering and no hot spots. An instant Classic!

Great knife with a retro touch

Upon unboxing this knife I was was very pleased to find that it was everything I was hoping it would be after watching the video clip about it at knifecenter.com. Very satisfying blade deployment with no sticking points and a great sound, a secure lock-up via the frame lock, and an excellent feel in the hand. The desert ironwood scales add a warmth to both the look and the feel of this knife, a nice distinction among my other knives. The anchor inlay lends a pleasing touch of nostalgia to the overall character. A draw for me is the blade shape. While a spear point, the blade is tall and the tapering not extreme giving the blade a real sturdiness and strength, it’s shape following seamlessly the lines established in the handle making for a beefy, yet elegant profile when open. The knife came sharp and would be great for wood carving, camping, or everyday carry. Hats off to Ken Onion for the Ahoy.

Great product and experience

Wanted this folder for a long time. Great quality and looks. I would have liked yhe pocket clip in a different finish but on the other side this knife sits solid and low in the pocket the way I prefer. KC customer service very fast and responsive. Recommended all the way.

Cons: Pocket Clip

Only one complaint, pocket clip

What a beautiful pocket knife. Action is stellar. Pocket clip seems undersized, but the main issue with the clip is that it is so stiff and so tight that I can’t get it over the fabric in my khaki pants. I think I need a butter knife to pry the pocket clip open so I can slide my pocket into the clip. Kind of sick paying this much money, even with it being on sale. I hope the pocket clip relaxes a bit before is tears my pants.
