---|---|---|---|
High-Performance SteelA highly stain resistant, value-priced steel, 4CR14 stainless steel is reasonably tough and corrosion resistant. Capable of taking a wicked, sharp edge, 4CR14 strikes a solid balance between toughness and edge retention. This budget-friendly, affordable steel is excellent for knives used sporadically, spending a good amount of time at-the-ready in a purse or suitcase. |
Attractive Blade FinishKershaw’s patented Blackwash finish derives from a balanced blend of blade coating and stonewashing. Together the two produce a precisely formulated all-black matte finish impervious to fingerprints, smudges and marring. And, even though the knife itself is brand new, Blackwash projects a well-worn, vintage look popular for blending comfortably with clothes and gear during everyday use and carry. |
Fast DeploymentUsing a torsion bar to move the blade out of the handle, Kershaw’s revolutionary SpeedSafe Assisted Opening system enables smooth, secure, fast one-handed blade deployment. Apply manual pressure to the flipper or thumb stud with a light push or pull back to overcome resistance of the torsion bar, and the blade opens smoothly and locks into place for confident handling without premature closure. |
Secure Locking SystemKershaw’s frame lock design makes knives safer, securer, sturdier and quicker for one-handed blade deployment. The knife handle, or frame, has two metal plates on either side of the blade, and when open, the lockbar butts up against the blade’s backend to prevent blade closure. To close the knife blade, push the frame to the side to unlock the blade and fold the blade back into the handle. |

---|---|---|
One-Handed FlipperKnives with SpeedSafe open have two options for one-handed blade deployment. To activate the smooth, instant open, user can push a thumbstud or press a flipper. The flipper on SpeedSafe assisted knives is easy to operate by both left- and right-handed users. And, once blade swings open and locks into place, flipper either disappears for aesthetics or remains visible for added finger protection. |
Durable HandleVery tough, able to take heavy-duty hard use, and versatile, glass-filled nylon handle material is a nylon synthetic polymer reinforced with glass threads for increased strength. Glass-filled nylon has incredible stiffness for a secure and stable grip, great ability to withstand heat, and dimensional stability combined with excellent wear resistance. Unique to certain Kershaw products, an exclusive and iconic texture is used on the handle to identify the brand and to provide additional traction when using the knife. The pattern is in a 'K' shaped repeating pattern to provide an extremely secure and safer grip. The K-Texture pattern ensures the user will always have a secure hold, even in slippery, wet, marine conditions. |
Attractive Blade CoatingBlack oxide coating is a chemical bath, or conversion coating, that converts the surface of the blade steel to magnetite. Mainly for appearance, black oxide does add some mild corrosion resistance and tends to minimize light reflection from the blade. The blackening process gives the blade an attractive, smooth, tactical, fierce black surface that is very desirable to knife owners. |

It's Kershaw's Chinese steel (made in China, it's not surprising). And while I would prefer an American-made blade with American-made steel, this is great for what it is. I have been pleasantly surprised by their Chinese-made products; they do a good job in general with heat treat, and while not all come razor sharp, they usually do and can take and keep a sharp edge. All of the "Filters" I purchased were able to shave off arm hair.
This particular model is reminiscent of a Rick Hindered blade, but without the cost. Fills the hand nicely, and balances nicely. The simple lines and continual arc of the back are both visually appealing and aid it's ergonomics. I am a big fan of drop point blades and this one is no exception.With a 3.25" blade and a 4.5" closed size, it fits easily in the hand AND pocket.
The SpeedSafe of one of the knives I bought was a little stiff at first--it wasn't deploying fast, and I needed to finish opening by hand. After working it a few dozen times, it loosened up fine. The others were great right out of the box. The stiff SpeedSafe on one was not enough to drop a star, given that everything else on this knife is so fantastic.
Generally, I'm kinda a knife snob, but with these folders, I make an exception/. Good to have a few extra blades around in various places--never know when or where you may need a good blade. Buy one (or 5), you won't be disappointed.
This is an excellent knife. For the price, you might as well give it a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I don't have much experience with the 4CR14 steel; came with a good edge, and its holding it pretty well. Because of its size, I have a tendency to use the knife a little more carelessly than I might elsewise, and its stood up to rough use fine. While it works as an everyday carry knife (and is handsome enough for this duty), mine is in the toolbox.
It is Chinese-made, but like most Chinese-made Kershaws I've had experience with, its a perfectly serviceable knife, with acceptable QC. Blade was well-centered on mine, and the hinge and lock are nice and tight while still being easily manipulated.
If this is still about $25, buy one now, and think of it next time you need a quick gift. Recommended.
