There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I can't speak for the hardness of the steel, other than it seems to keeps an edge well. I demand a sharp blade so anytime I use it for a project like cutting up a bunch shipping boxes I'll run it over the blade sharpener a couple times to keep it sharp. I usually do it once a week but I've never thought that my blade seemed dull at all even after using it. This is a really good EDC and at 1.9 ounces it does not get in the way. My wife does not like any other knife I have but she said this one looks nice. I agree...it's what I would consider a Gentleman's EDC. I also like how affordable it is. I feel like I can use it, try to wear it out and maybe even lose it and I'm not going to me set back a lot. This is what I want in a knife...a working tool that is there when I want it but not in my way and looks good while serving its purpose.
I want to comment on some things I read in a review after buying mine. In this review they said that the carbon fiber body flexed. No. I can't make mine flex any more than I think steel would with the same force. They said the clip has some wiggle: Nope, not on mine. They said the blade moved: Nope, not on mine. I got the impression they thought it felt cheap because it was light. Um, NO!. There is a difference between cheap and being lightweight. I think the carbon fiber is great. It's lightweight but has a classy basketweave pattern that appears to move and reflect the light differently when you move it side to side, almost like a hologram. The review ends with a comparison to another knife that is like the Atmos but "nicer in every imaginable way" and suggests that you consider a different knife with similar shape and design but then mentions it has a framelock, which is a con to me, it's stainless steel so it's four times heavier and oh, by the way, it costs $250. Ridiculous to compare the two knives, other than they are designed by the same man. Get real. Please don't heed a review like that as he is comparing apples to watermelons.
****************************************************
2023: It’s now two years later and I still carry this knife every day. I love it. It shows no signs of wear and has never disappointed in any way.
I guess I do wish they made the exact little brother to this that was a little shorter. I don’t always need a 3” blade. I think a version on this exact knife with a 2” blade would be perfect. But I honestly still do carry this knife every day.
Pros:
1. Very lightweight
2. Deep carry clip
Cons:
1. Requires a lot of pressure to open the knife
2. Flipper tab jimping/ grooves are rough, almost sharp
3. Handle length may be short for some folks
My example has a fall shut action,perfect centering,good fit and finish, no blade play or lock rock, nice deep pocket carry clip with unobtrusive screws, very light weight,comfortable ergonomics,and of course it cuts.
The cons are minimal and maybe should not be counted at this price point. The gimping on the blade is a little aggressive for a light edc knife but only slightly. The blade steel is lacking for us steel snobs. The biggest con is the country of manufacturing which is China.
Kershaw is showing us what can be had at this less then $34.00 price. It is fantastic for the consumer but potentially disruptive for them because we now know what is possible.
This is a great knife and should be highly recommended even for a knife nerd like myself if I feel like slumming it or I need a knife that is easily replaceable if lost. This is not a hard use or tacticool knife, however it will perform edc jobs such as ;mail,opening packages,cutting tape,food , and even processing cardboard albeit it will need sharpening after serious use. The blade has a hollow grind and will continue to cut things like cardboard well after the shaving edge is gone. Enjoy.
