5.0 out of 5 stars Legal carry in California, June 26, 2011

By 

PJ (Westcoast USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kershaw Clash (Sports)

I just had to respond to the review regarding its legality in California. As of 2011 this knife is in fact LEGAL to carry. A spring assisted knife is LEGAL as long as the operation involves the use of a stud, hole, disk or in this case a FLIPPER. As long as the opening mechanism is attached to the blade and not on the handle (like the old switchblades were deployed, a button on the side) it is in fact LEGAL to carry. Just had to clarify that to potential buyers of this, or any other assisted opening knife....

3.0 out of 5 stars Went from 5 to 3 stars... rusting after 2 weeks., May 27, 2011

5 stars for value. For $23 you can't beat this knife. The reviews I've read are fairly accurate so I won't belabor the point. Opens fast, good blade shape, decent metal, plastic handle, one handed opening, good pocket clip, and a nice overall appearance. True it doesn't have the pricey look of my $100 knives or even the Kershaw Blur but it is still a great pocket knife. I got this for use as an EDC work knife. It has to clip over a zipper and I expect it's going to get beat up just in daily carry so I didn't want a knife that cost enough to make me worry about damaging it so in my case the cheaper plastic handle is a plus! This knife is perfect as a GOOD pocket knife that you can actually use and not worry about ruining a more expensive knife. Plus it definitely has a cool factor with the spring assist opening with the flipper. Overall, better than I was expecting.

* Had to amend my review. All the same comments as before still stand. However, after having the knife for 2 weeks or so of very light use I noticed rust spots. Just light spots but still. They are on the sides of the blade. Not enough to stop me using it as a beater knife, but just realize this isn't a knife that's going to last more than a couple years. It's definitely a cheap knife you can beat up and throw away when it's either too rusty or broken. Either way the flipper is still sweet and I like it, just would like it more if it hadn't started rusting on me.
