Feels Right!
Just received this knife. Feels good, release is solid but not so much that it jars your hand. Typical Kershaw Blackwash - always have loved that. MADE IN USA always a consideration for me. Only thing is that it would be nice for this to be a Deep Carry and not your standard Kershaw clip but even with that - this knife feels right for EDC

Love this knife. Small and light enough for EDC (about the same weight as a Spyderco Delica). Big enough for most everyday jobs. Sufficiently tactical but its appearance is non-threatening. Blade is high quality and keeps an edge for a long time. Opening mechanism is reliable (important to keep it clean and lubed). The only con is the color. Black/dark grey makes it hard to see if you accidentally drop it or leave it on a cluttered bench or desk. Would be nice to see a new model in light blue.

Solid lock up, no blade play. Perfect centering. Nice looking blade, USA made, slim pocket clip. Great EDC

My new favorite knife
This knife is awesome! Opens fast. Good feel in my hand. Good sharp blade with a nice tip. Light weight. Push button is designed well so that it opens easily but shouldn't pop open unexpectedly. Slightly smaller than I expected, but it is my new favorite knife that I will carrying most days.

A little smaller than a Leek or RAT 2 but a great size with a good grip. Smooth action, quick open and sharp out of the box. Good blade alignment which lends to feeling and looking like a quality build, not unlike all of the USA made Kershaws I own. I love the knife but it’s small enough to feel comfortable as an EDC but a little small for big hands. I knew that when I ordered so no complaints. Quick ship and tracking updates from Knife Center.,

I just received this piece and after toying with it for a couple of hours, it is obvious that this will be a staple in my EDC rotation. It is very well built and opening is very very snappy. I love the blade finish - my fav. I like the looks of a reverse tanto but have yet to carry one, so maybe more on that later. Thank you KC and Kershaw.

I'm happy with it
I received this knife and another for my first two automatics. I looked at all the launches and really liked how this one looks. With the knife opened, it feels right. However, I have to hold it a little different to deploy the blade, which isnt a problem yet. Closing the blade seems just a tad rough but I think some oil would fix that. This one does not have a locking feature like the other one I ordered but I knew that. It snaps and sounds good. The materials used is nice. Its heavier than the "Bear Ops bold action XVI". Overall I am happy and will continue to buy from Kershaw.

Great auto
Not bad at all for the price, it's my go to medium/hard use folder. I alternate between this and a vintage Kershaw Boa s60v for heavier tasks. Good edge retention and pretty easy to sharpen.

Great blade steel takes really nice edge, problem with lock. It is sticky and gritty. My old boker is much better
