Review: Very light weight - Knife is very good for this price. Very sharp out the box even cut my self by accident 😂 blade very sharp and the grip on the handle is pretty grippy. Good edc and the pocket clip comes already in the perfect spot in my opinion. Very easy to flip open. The pocket clip does have any play while clipped in the back pocket stays in all day. Was going to get the kershaw kuro but glad I got this instead cause the blade is bigger and the knife was a lot lighter then expected.i would buy this knife again and would recommend to you.
Review: Perfect. - I don't ever write reviews but this knife is pretty perfect for EDC or camping. I do tree work so I need a good knife on me all day. I've been through a lot of similarly priced and more expensive knives and this the best by far. Not too small, not too big. Sharp out of the box and stays that way for a long time with regular use. I had to lock-tight the clip, but I would recommend that with any pocket knife. Haven't managed to bend the tip yet and usually that's way too easy to do for me. Grip is nice and... Grippy. Opens and closes like a much more expensive knife would. Finally found a knife that I'll be buying again whenever I inevitably lose this one. Can't recommend it enough. Good job Kershaw.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, unbeatable at this price!
*by E***4 on October 23, 2024*

I bought this to replace an M-Tech USA tanto of similar design that I managed to break, a combination of a weak design being used too hard. It was a good knife with excellent steel, but I neglected to focus on its weakness: a large empty space in the spine (weight reduction?) of the blade, and weak mounting. It lasted a couple years, but eventually failed catastrophically. The Kershaw Analyst blade is solid, sharp, and fairly thick. The fiberglass/nylon handle is where I was concerned, but Kershaw focused on design here, too, with a solid steel frame under all of this, plus thick steel mounting hardware. The solidity of the blade when extended gives an honest feel of a long tang fixed blade (which this is not; do not use this as a wedging tool!), something that a folding knife in this price range typically can’t do. The black coating of the blade has been weathered using a tumbling procedure. I didn’t expect what it looks like up close, though. It is very smooth, but with a matte look, and holds on to oil very well. The description says it was done to “prevent scratching” under use. I don’t know if that has any truth, but after a day’s worth of use it wears like ceracoat on a firearm, meaning not at all. The spring action of the mechanism in opening is far stronger than the old knife it replaces, but the strength needed in the “flick” to open it is also greater, meaning little chance of this opening partially in my pocket, while also guaranteeing extension and locking when deploying one handed. To be honest, I will carry this as part of my EDC more as emergency preparedness than for any other reason, so solid use with only one hand is key along with the deep serrated section of blade (needed to quickly cut rope, seat belts, etc.). The belt clip came attached on the wrong side given my preferences, but with a Torx driver it was easy to swap over. A lot of people don’t seem to catch that Kershaw chose to drill and thread mounting positions not just on both sides, but also on both ends of the blade, so regardless one of those 4 positions will suit 100% of any user needing a pocket clip feature. I have carried knives 3-4 times the cost of this in the past, but have been badly sick the last couple years, which has dropped by funds tremendously, but as this is my first Kershaw experience, it’s looking like had this knife been presented to me a decade ago, I would have saved the money and carried this. Overall, probably the best knife I have ever owned! Granted, this is after just a day’s use, so I will be quick to come back and anything should there be something that would change my rating.
