Very nice knive
An attractive knife, with a good snappy opening, the blade shape i like and find adaptive to my usage, and the blade is as one would want and expect SHARP. Also it feels good in the hand , plus carries well.

Launch 22
Kershaw does it again with another excellent auto in their launch series. I own several of these and don't really have a bad thing to say about any of them. I carry all my knives in rotation for EDC. I can say that the workmanship on this one is Top Notch. The micarda inlays, although not my thing, are well done and I have no problem with them. Fit and finish are excellent as usual and the firing of this Auto is strong, very close to the Protech that I own. Highly recommended.

A solid EDC
My first auto, and I'm quite pleased with it. The micarta inlay adds just the right amount of give and grip to the stiff aluminum handle. The blade fires hard, and the blade shape is very versatile and user friendly. Handles are quite neutral and adapt to a variety of grips.

Surprised By This
I bought this simply because I wanted it, but I just knew I was going to be disappointed. I was whole heartedly wrong! I actually think this is one of the best Kershaw’s I have ever owned. Been a little rough with Kershaw the last ten or so years, but this is great!

Great knife
I use this knife as EDC mostly. It is for the money a solid knife. A couple of issues that I have with it one may be just my own with weaker hand strength. I the open button is rather stiff and a not smooth. Probably need a lot more use, but more oil and use thus far has not made a lot of difference, I’ve had it for a few weeks. The opening of the blade is quite stout, better have a good hold on the handle or it will jump right out of my hand. This could well be my weaker hand strength, but… Otherwise, this knife is a great knife, within my budget and I am well pleased with it as EDC. And it looks great.

This knife can pretty sharp. I touched it up with a ceramic rod to super sharp. The auto open button is very gritty and deployment is hit and miss on the first press , however; once deployed, hold on. Action is super fast and the lockup is rock solid. I wouldn't by again unless I could check out the button action in person.
