Cons: None

Great feeling knife

Just got it today and am loving it. The handle is comfortable, the speed safe is quick and knife was sharp as a razor. I really like the size and very solid. A little heavier than others but at just about the right weight. I am looking forward to breaking it in.

Pros: Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Lock Type, Overall Quality
Cons: Blade Material, Lock Ease of Use, Pocket Clip, Weight

Nice design except the pocket clip for a budget EDC

The Seguin definitely has a nice feel in the hand, Les George did a great job on the design for Kershaw. Blade shape is useful, easy to sharpen. The pocket clip is not the best. When it's in the pocket, the tip of the pocket clip sticks out at least 5/16" off of my leg and would catch on things easily. With a little help from an arbor press I was able to make the bend acceptable. I prefer flippers, this one works great and is sized appropriately. Occasionally the frame lock will overtravel and is difficult to unlock. The stainless scales look nice but definitely make this knife heavy for it's size. I work in construction and typically don't like carrying my more expensive knifes onto jobsites and have carried a Kershaw Burst for many years. The Burst has been a great knife and the Seguin has a very similar blade profile and both are assisted flippers. I know this model is discontinued but I would like to see Kershaw make an upgraded version of this knife with a more premium blade steel, G10 handles and a liner lock to cut some weight along with a redesign of the pocket clip. Currently it's a great buy at the sale price if you don't mind a heavier knife.
