Kershaw has really been stepping up their game lately and this knife really shows it! Build quality and materials are unmatched in this price range. It feels solid in the hand and the action is snappy and crisp. The ergonomics are superb. It’s got a very tactical look, but not overdone where it looks cheesy. I normally prefer plain edge knives, but on this one the partial serrated works perfectly and I actually prefer it. There is still plenty of plain edge to use for any task. I’ve seen other reviews where people say the button is hard to press, but I disagree. It seems perfect to me and my thumb has never had a problem finding the button and deploying it easily. The overall fit and finish are outstanding, and it’s USA made. You just can’t go wrong with this knife!
