Great knife for the money! I had a similar green knife from Kershaw before and I loved the pocket catch on the blade so much that I don’t want to wear any other knife for my EDC. Once you get it down (it takes some practice) and have the knife oriented the way you like (since you can put the clip on either side) you can deploy the knife in a half second, and it’s completely legal compared to a switchblade or spring assist. I just lost a bolt on my old knife and ordered this one as a replacement (although Kershaw does offer hardware replacements). I love the shape and size of this knife. It’s a perfect EDC knife for protection and as a tool. The build quality is fantastic. The knife is really solid and when the blade is locked there is no play in any direction. The handle on the tan side is pretty grippy in the hand and satin finish on the black side is not as grippy but I like it. The blade is so sharp that I wanted to do a paper test and it slices paper like a dream. I think this is one heck of a knife for the price. My only complaint is that the pocket catch is patented lol. Because of that, there aren’t many options and I think every carry knife should have one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like the blade, not so sure about the way it opens.
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2016

This is my 3rd Kershaw folding knife. My other two are a Leek, and a Zing (both of those are "Speedsafe" assisted opening knives). Of the three, this is my favorite in terms of overall shape, feel in the hand when open, and blade itself. The blade itself is really nice and thick along the spine (as compared to the Leek and Zing), and I really like the blade shape. I'm not totally sold on the opening method for this knife though. It take a bit of practice to get right, and given that the blade is shipped razor sharp and comes with a fine point. . . well, that practice may entail accidentally sticking yourself in the back of the thigh a few times. . . . Even though I've gotten past that, I still don't manage to get the blade 100% open and locked every time, and I often have to flip my wrist slightly to get it to finish locking open. It can also be opened manually, if you so choose.

The brownish polymer facing is on one side only, with the reverse side finished in black (metal) Folded, the knife is about 25% thicker than either the Zing or Leek, but for me the little bit of extra thickness makes it a better fit in my hand.

I was pretty impressed with this knife, i have a small collection of about 20 knives and most of them were pretty large its nice to mix it up with a more slim typw of design. This knife is a really good value. Solid lockup, came fairly sharp, very visualy attractive, wave feature take some getting used to but very effective when you get it down, and it offered more grip than I was expecting. Didn't come in the cool emerson/kershaw instead it was in an evil plastic sealed package box but oh well I paid for the knife the box is just an extra. Umm no real complaints great buy very versatile design could be used for everyday use, self defense use (a little short but very pointy and concealable) alsp cheap enough to throw into a backpack for a campin trip and not be super worried about it getting lost. Good quality low price.

I have had this knife for 5 and carried it just about every single day. It feels greatin the hand. I've seen other say that it is difficult to open, it is pretty tight out of the box but if you loosen the pivot screw just a little it become much more smooth. Give it some time and it only gets better. The frame lock is very sturdy and the blade sharpens up very well. I just picked up a CQC 4KXL which is identical but with a longer blade and it is just as awesome. I highly recommend this knife. You won't find many knives of this caliber at this price point.
