Anso is slick!

I lost my OD green anso flipper and was super disappointed so I had to find another! These are absolutely great every day carry pieces. Super quick flipper and super sharp blade!  recommend the Kershaw Jens anso fraxion flippers! Small, light, sharp and quick!

All Great Except the Packaging....Again

The Kershaw Fraxion itself is a nice lightweight knife, especially for what I paid. I picked it up for under $20, and at that price, the knife itself is hard to complain about. The blade looks good, the action works properly, the lockup seems fine, and overall, it feels like a useful lightweight carry knife. My issue is with the packaging and presentation. The Fraxion came on retail card packaging, not in a box, and the card had been opened and taped shut. I understand this was a special sale price, but it was still sold as a new knife. I would expect the packaging to be clean and properly sealed, just as I would if I had paid KnifeCenter’s regular price or full MSRP. There also appeared to be some green paint or colored residue inside the liner lock area. It does not seem to affect the knife's function, but it is not something I would expect to see on a new item. Overall, the Fraxion is a good little knife and a very good deal at the sale price. I am satisfied with how the knife works, but the opened-and-taped packaging and the residue inside the handle kept it from feeling like a clean new purchase

Great Budget Flipper from Kershaw

The Fraxion is pretty unique for Kershaw in that its a budget flipper that is manual (no Speed Safe) but has a big name behind its design, Jens Anso. Overall, this is a great budget option. The knife falls in the small/medium category. The manual action is reliable and the knife has good access to the liner lock. My only complaint is that the edges of the G10 scales are not rounded at all and therefore are a bit sharp. However, nothing that a file and some sandpaper couldn't fix.

Great bargain

First of all I purchased this knife from somewhere else but I have ordered from knifecenter many times and am always pleased with the service and they are the fastest knife site I've ordered from when it comes to shipping! On to the knife , the Kershaw fraxion is not in my usual price range of knives, I am a knife collector through and through, I own about a dozen other Kershaw knives and figured I'd give this one a shot. Definitely not disappointed, bearings and carbon fiber for under $30 is a no brainier to me, I expected this knife to be alot worse than it is admittingly I wish I would have known that this knife came in blue but that is nothing against the knife it's self. Action is smooth, all bearings roll freely in cage. Lock up is normal, no stick, detent is perfect, no stiffness at all. Pocket clip could have been a bit better, would like to see a smaller version of the zt 0562 clip on it instead but again just a personal preference. The only negative I can see is the grinds on mine are just slightly uneven. But it still apex's just fine. Blade steel is the standard 8cr13mov, takes a edge nice and easy but looses it just as easy, but that is a pretty standard blade steel on knives under $50. All and all I would say that If you are interested in this knife then just go ahead and pull the trigger! Great knife great supplier!!!!!! Stay sharp Check me and my knives out on Instagram @nomoremrknifeguy89.
