Don't underestimate this small-in-stature knife--the short, chubby blade works on and on. Glass-reinforced nylon handles with super-grippy Santoprene inserts make your hold on the Half Ton firm and secure, a locking liner adds safety to the open blade, and the steel features a satin finish that makes it shiny but tough as nails. Kershaw completes the package with a patented Wrench Clip, a pocket clip shaped like a mini-wrench. Easy open with the thumb stud rounds out the package.

Product Description

The Kershaw Half Ton knife has a 2.5 inch blade made of 8CR13MOV stainless steel that is opened with ambidextrous thumb studs and held in place with a liner lock. The handle is made of glass reinforced nylon with black Santoprene inlays on each side. A cool looking pocket clip is mounted on the pivot end of the knife for easy carrying. What we think you will find so nice about the Kershaw Half Ton is that the price does indeed seem to be about half while having a TON of quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly sized, September 10, 2010

I absolutely love this knife, and at only 15 bucks? Wow! This is easily one of the best value knifes out there.

Pros:
Sized perfectly for every day carry
Smooth opening blade
Thick blade and extremely durable
Good looking
8Cr13MoV steel
Factory sharp
Colorful (hard to lose)
Secure pocket clip
Functional jimping on the handle (best jimping on plastic I've felt)
Heavy duty feel
Price
Easy to use and open
Solid lockup of blade
Relatively low maintenance

Cons:
Blade has no protective coating so it can rust easily
Pocket clip cannot be adjusted
Concave blade style is unnecessary on a blade that wide and small
Point is extremely dull (and not for stabbing at all)
Hard to resharpen

This knife is literally one of the best sized EDC knifes I've ever seen, If Kershaw used a standard flat ground blade, then the blade would be nearly perfect.

Good, stout knife for the money. Mine came with a factory edge that was pretty sharp but not polished. The clip which looks like a wrench is kind of different. The 8CR13MOV steel used in the blade has gotten plenty of favorable comments on knife forums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to beat for the price, September 10, 2010

For the price asked, under $14, this knife is practically disposable. It also ships for free with Amazon Prime. The blade steel is a good quality, the grip is secure, and the red color makes it hard to lose. The clip is secure, and does not interfere with my grip. The blade is thick and stout, and can handle a fair amount of abuse.

I have one I carry every day, and one in each of my cars' emergency kits, as well as a spare.

You CAN find a better knife, no doubt, but at a significantly higher price.
