Been waiting for this knife

I have loved the Iridium design since it first came out.I made a mental note that when they made a model with either G10 or Micarta handles,with a premium steel I would grab one.This knife does not disappoint,it is solid and is a great edc.

Exactly what I was hoping for

When it comes to pocket knives, I don't use them hard. Mostly for the occasional box tear down, letter opened, pencil sharpened, that sort of thing. I always grab a fixed blade if I do anything much more involved. That said, this Iridium is solid. It just has that made in America quality to it. The action is perfectly smooth, and if you're into reverse flicking, blade drop, all that stuff, you won't be disappointed. The only thing I don't like about this knife, and most pocket knives, is the behind the edge geometry is too thick. I get it, they build them to be used heavily, but thin blade geometries can take more work than many think. The edge came in over 20° per side, and when I brought it down to 15°, the edge bevel of course is now quite large. But it's not bad. I had a bad experience with USPS in receiving the knife, but that is not Kershaw or KCs fault. Highly recommend this knife!
