Around $6500 is the size of my knife collection. 00 it's not big but it's not small and most of my knives are made in the United States but let me tell you some of the knives from China and other parts of the world are pretty damn good knives. I own a few from over seas and they're pretty nice they have some real good steel so don't be afraid to buy from other parts of the world just make sure you check everything about the knife you're going to buy. I do a lot of research before I buy and I read all the

That does not appear to be the case. In comparison to some of my other clipped folders, this one is about "normal." It's a breeze to take off, but it's not too loose. My Kershaw Cryo and Kershaw 6054Brnblk Emerson Cqc folders are much more difficult to take out of a pocket. Those, at least the ones I got, have some really tight clips.

So I got the product in a timely manner, and it was the knife I wanted, but it was the wrong size. It's too small, unlike my knife, which has the same number but is the right size. br>There was no mention of it being miniature in the item description.
In the last ten years, I've bought a Kershaw knife for the fourth time. They produce high-quality knives at a reasonable price that are comparable to far more expensive Benchmade knives. This was, however, my first (and possibly last) purchase of a Kershaw knife from an online retailer. I would not have bought this knife if I had seen and held it. Having said that, I should have read the article more carefully. br>br>1) Manufactured in China - All of my other Kershaw knives were made in the United States. The metal and craftsmanship are of much higher quality. To put it another way, it feels cheap, which is probably what I should have expected for $25. All of the other Kershaws I've purchased have cost between $50 and $100. br>br>2) Insufficient Size - This knife is far too small for me to hold comfortably or safely. I am a moderately built 6' male with proportionally sized hands. Females and small-handed men, on the other hand, may find it useful. br>br>Do yourself a favor and invest in a Kershaw from the United States of America. The knives are outstanding. This isn't a case of jingoistic patriotism; the Made in America versions are simply superior. br>br>*(I'd buy this knife again if I were on vacation in Hawaii and needed a $10 gas-saving knife. ) I'd use a station knife for a week and then throw it away at the airport before flying home.
Since I got a limited edition OsoSweet (orange scales and black blade) a few years ago, I've been a big fan of Kershaw's "SpeedSafe" flippers. br>br>I recently bought the RJ Tactical (black scales, black blade) and the Barricade (orange scales, black blade) to see which would make the best gift. br>br>I thought a comparison of all three would be interesting. NOTE: The orange and black OsoSweet is no longer available. For comparison, the black and silver Oso is the same size and deploys at the same rate as my orange one. br>br>Barricade: br>br>barricade: barricade: barricade: Those knives are considerably larger than I anticipated. It's hefty and requires a bit more effort to deploy. It opens quickly and closes securely. It comes with a few extras, such as a seatbelt cutter and a glass breaker. Even for a Wookie, it's too big to carry around on a daily basis without being inconvenient. I wasn't expecting the extra 1/2 inch to make such a difference in ergonomics, but it does. As a result, it will be stored in the center console of my vehicle. In a pinch, it could be used as a survival knife. br>br>OsoSweet: br>br>OsoSweet: br>br>OsoS Fast, light, and simple to use opener. This is the ideal middle ground. Black/silver, grey/silver, and green/silver are the current color combinations, all with a silver clip. They also appear to be uninteresting. But as a daily carry knife, it's fine; it does what it's supposed to do. Quickly open, quickly cut, and carry deeply I'm just not impressed with the options available right now. br>br>RJ Tactical: br>br> This guy is a tenth of an inch shorter and lighter than the OsoSweet. It's also a little slower (but quieter) to deploy. Don't get me wrong: it's still a fast opener, albeit one that moves a little slower than the others. The black-on-black look is one of my favorites. clean and tidy It has a tactical look to it, which may irritate some people. With this one, I got a few sideways glances while the much larger Barricade received none. Only the appearance of this one is tactical. br>br>All three are made of good steel (8Cr), have a hair popping edge, assisted opening, and tip up carry. They're all under $30, so there's no need to spend a fortune. br>br>Barricade: br>br>barricade: barricade: barricade: The seatbelt cutter and window breaker have yet to be tried, but they appear to be functional. br>br>OsoSweet: br>br>OsoSweet: br>br>OsoS With the exception of the new ones, my favorite. It would be the best choice here if they were black on black, or even better, if they were still available in orange on black. br>br>RJ Tactical: br>br> The slower deployment does not appeal to me. However, it's ideal for people learning to use an assisted flipper and those who don't like the "thwack" of a strong flipper. The all-black (tactical) look earns you extra points. Barricade is the place to go if you're looking for something big. If you're looking for something in the middle, this is the place to be. Go Oso, if you're looking for something quick (but simple). RJ is the way to go if you want a more gentle and attractive opening.
I must have 50 knives now, and I think I've found the perfect one. It has no wiggle room, the blades steel is absolutely fine for what I'm using it for, the clip was in the exact position I carry my others and there's the option to have the clip in three different positions, it's speed assist open, and the best part is that it's just slightly smaller than my Cryo 2 that I've been carrying recently, but almost half the weight, and it still fits my hand around the grip perfectly. This is going to be my EDC for the foreseeable future.
br>br>On first inspection, the blade appeared to be properly adjusted. There is no wiggle or side-to-side movement when the door opens. a game on the side When opening, the liner consistently fully engages the back of the blade (so far). br>br>The edge is evenly ground and sharp, which is unusual for a budget knife in this price range. The majority of "hair-related" issues When tested against medium paper stock and newsprint, it cuts cleanly, indicating that there are no visible burrs. Instead of being "crisp," the blade's "grind" lines are smooth. "sharp-edged," but that's fine for what I was looking for. Even at this point, they're completed evenly. br>br>I like how an insert partially fills the spine, giving the blade edge some protection. The jimping is well-done, and I like how the protruding tip at the butt is smooth rather than sharp, reducing wear. If not clipped to the mouth of a pocket, it can cause damage. br>br>The ability to position the clip in three different places appears to be useful. Tip- On each side, there's a tip-up option (mine came with a tip-up option). tip-toe up, spine forward/RH carry), and tip-toe up, spine forward/RH carry) One side has a down option (as seen on the website). br>br>Compared to other Kershaw speedsafe models, this one is reasonably thin. br>br>I prefer 3" folders when I'm wearing pants with tighter pockets or lighter material, or when I'm traveling and local ordinances prevent me from carrying a blade longer than 3". It's long enough to be useful, but not too big to be inconvenient. br>br>If anything changes, I'll let you know. However, on first glance, it appears to be a good value for the money. If they can maintain this level of quality control, it should be a real sleeper for a budget pocket folder with a liner lock design.
