Filter Frame Lock Knife Stainless Steel (3.25" BlackWash) 1306BW

Nice 3 1/4" blade, comfortable smooth grip, slick-smooth design, sharp, and mostly, it's heavy (in a good way)!

This is everything I've come to expect from Kershaw. Solidly built, sharp as a razor. spring assisted opening. This is my fifth Kershaw knife and it's every bit as good as the rest. I do have one complaint, the clip can only be mounted in one place. I'd like to switch it to the opposite side but can't. Even so, I still give it five stars just for quality.

Keep it cheap and I'll keep buying! This has been one of the BEST deals on knives over the past few months, and I think I've bought 4-5 of these (early Christmas shopping). Solid blade through and through! At 5 oz., some might argue a bit TOO solid, but I like the heft of a decent blade! 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.

I bought several fo these Kershaw Filter knives to give to male family members who use knives regularly and always seem to either destroy or lose them. The Filter is a good, sturdy knife that will cut maost everything the average male will need to open...and not make you cry when you chip the blade or lose the knife. All in all...just a good, inexpensive knife to have clipped to your pocket; or just keep several around for gifts.

It's a Kershaw. Not much needs to be said. It's amazing. I like this knife for the fact that it's all steel and the assisted spring opening is a nice touch for those I need it now and I only have one hand situations. It holds its edge for a long time before it needs sharpening. A great pocket knife that I take everywhere with me. I HIGHLY recommend the Filter Kershaw.

This is a fairly large knife as far pocket knives go, and too big for EDC in my opinion. Now, if you aren't looking for a EDC though, this is a great knife! To start with the one other negative, the handle can be a bit slick, especially if used with water on your hands. Now onto positives: it's sharp, tough/good quality, ergonomic for the most part, and has an incredible price point of around $16 (today's listed price on amazon as of 11/06/2021). I have yet to come across any other knife that can compete with its quality for a similar price. I'm half surprised it doesn't cost twice as much as it does, to be honest. I would be willing to pay upwards of $25-$30 for this knife, and I'm a pretty cheap guy. I would (and have) replaced it after losing one. It is a great knife to just have around in various places that might be more ruff or higher potential for losing a knife (garage, yard tools, taking on trips, etc). The price takes the sting out of having to replace it in the event you lose it, or do major damage to the blade, and require a replacement.

If you regularly buy 3-inch folding knives, the first thing you'll notice with this guy is how much bigger/heavier it feels than your others. It has comfortable heft, it feels good in the hand like a good tool or an all-steel handgun. It feels like a much more expensive item than it is. Actually, this would make a great gift. 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.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Excellent knife for the price. Have not used much but seems to hold its edge and stay relatively sharp after opening and breaking down numerous cardboard boxes.

Viene muy afilado, bonito diseño y funcional con una sola mano.
