The knife came fairly sharp. This is perfect for anyone who wants a small small small knife for every day. It is small so it takes a few times to figure out how to open it comfortably, but once you do, it is great,
Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Small but does what I need it to. Clips to my pocket I can get hand in and out no problem. Third knife I've bought from knife center good service and shipping.
It's a nicely built, stout little knife with black coating. Sharp out of the box and legal in most jurisdictions. The blade has a lot of cutting edge for it's size. It was a bit tight out of the box and wouldn't completely open until I used a torx wrench to loosen the pivot pin 1/4 turn. I shouldn't have needed to do that. That's a Kershaw quality control issue. So, I'm knocking one star off for that. Now it opens fine.
This is a great knife for small pockets, typically found in women's jeans. It's hard to find a knife that has a deep pocket carry clip that doesn't stick out of my pocket. I actually got this knife simply for the size and deep pocket carry clip, even though the grade of steel isn't fabulous. The only negative is sometimes the liner lock doesn't catch, so I will either be more firm in opening the blade, or eventually adjust it.
I saw this and decided i wanted it because of the blade shape and size. The blade is great once its out. Its so short and stubby its hard to open,,,,i loosened it some and its still awkward. Downright heavy in your pocket. But its sturdy and has a useful shape once wielded.
Cons: Weight, Handle Feel, Lock Ease of Use, Handle Material
Small Knife
This purchase was an experiment to see how small a useful knife could be. This knife will be relegated to my desk drawer and only used when I don't have anything else handy. The lock is very erratic, not always catching. The flip is difficult to get a good solid opening feel. The blade is sharp as it should be. For the length of the blade the grip is very thick, out of balance for me. It was not expensive so I have no problem with the purchase. I consider it tuition in learning what works and what doesn't.
It's a slicK little knife. Sharp and nice in my hand. But all that means nothing, if I can't get it open. Which is impossible with out the help of a screwdriver. Believe me, I worked it. Very disappointing. I should have read the earlier reviews. I would love to exchange it, but I don't think it would matter. I have had similar problems with Chinese made knives, just didn't think it would happen with Kershaw. Steve in L.A.
