I have been using this knife for several months as a general purpose carry knife. It holds an edge very well and is sturdy. Seems to have excellent steel.
VERY disappointed upon receiving the two knifes I ordered. Kershaw is a name known for it's quality and being made in the USA. Had I known these weren't made in the USA I would have never ordered them. In fact if shipping cost weren't so high I would send them back.
I got one for work and it's very sharp and lightweight. For smaller hands, you can flick this blade out lightening fast. G-10 scales are very nice. It is a thin blade and liner lock so no chopping down trees...but for the office it's sweet.
I am very happy with this knife. My only complaint is that the one handed thumb stud should be located further up the blade for more leverage. The knife is hard to open with one hand, but it does break in. It is very sharp, and easy to sharpen. I use this knife for legging, skinning, and field dressing deer. I would recommend this knife.
