Review: Flippers are a must have. - A solid knife . It's a benchmade clone made with a lesser grade blade steel. The lock works well . The cost a lot less , BUT..this knife has something the bugout dosen't A FLIPPER ! ,which is a must have , the old out of date thumb studs are never the right size and never where you can get positive placement of your thumb.
Review: My favorite knife I’ve ever owned. - I’ve been using this knife for quite awhile now and it is absolutely my favorite I’ve ever owned. The action feels great, the edge has held up well, and it has always felt sturdy even when abusing it a bit. It’s a good size for an EDC, and slides over my pocket with the clip real easy. Highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The quality is absolutely amazing.
*by B***N on July 14, 2025*

This is the nicest flip out pocket knife I have ever seen. It is of the highest quality and very well built. The flip out action is almost effortless and just amazing. The blade is sharp, nicely beveled and has an absolutely cool finish. I cannot recommend this knife more. Kershaw really does make some of the best knives!
