Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Blade Sharpness
Cons: None
Fast and light
Purchased this for it's looks and my familiarity with Kershaw's SpeedSafe assisted opening. It feels light and dress pants capable. The frame is fairly slim, almost Hot Wire slim. Very sharp out of the box and I expect to use this for very light applications. The steel is your common Chinese steel which is inexpensive, effective and easy to sharpen. Can't complain for it's price. Just a reminder, the SpeedSafe has a strong spring tension that puts up resistance on the blade once your closing it.

Perfect Pocket Knift
I run a bookstore where I have to cut myriad boxes, plastic, string, and other random materials all day. I keep this Kershaw in the right pocket of my jeans; you barely notice it's there, can whip it out and flick it open with no effort, and close it with ease. It cuts perfectly, has held a sharp edge for many months now.
