4.0 out of 5 stars Best knife I own..., October 1, 2009

This knife is my favorite among all. I have Gerbers, Bucks & Kershaws.

Pros:
- Sharp out of the box, & tough steel
- Serrated edge is sharp & aggressive
- Red & black contrasts well, which is easy to spot should you drop it in the grass at night
- Grip is VERY aggressive; It's basically skateboard grip secured to the knife (like 80 grit sandpaper)but is very durable & waterproof
- Simple one-handed operation; right amount of spring action -- not too springy to the point of accidental opening

Cons:
- Though the grip is good, it can be a little too aggressive on the clip side. It will likely shred-up your jeans/belt eventually clipping the knife off & on.
- I'd like to see a little more for forefinger slip protection, but still adequate

I would recommend as a good general purpose knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars great knife!!, February 14, 2009

I saw this knife in a glass display case and had to have it. I have had it now for one year. The red, black, and steel of the knife are eye-catching. I have always held Kershaw knives in a high regard, and this is no exception. The handle is rugged, anodized aluminum with inset no-slip grip. The clip is strong, albeit sometimes difficult to clip on to something thicker than a pocket. The knife has an assisted open spring, and with a simple flick of your thumb the blade flips open. Closing is easy too. The blade and handle are firmly attached, and do not wiggle. The blade is great, very sharp out of the box.

If you are looking for a folding utility knife that looks sharp hanging off a pocket, this is the one.

And, best of all, it's made here in the USA!

This is really a sweet knife. I really like the color scheme and the fit and finish of this, extremely sharp, knife. It has a great heft and balance, with smooth, efficient operation. The blade is thick and strong, making it an excellent work knife. The speed safe option works very well for one-handed operation, with either hand.

It's an excellent value, in my opinion. You can't go wrong with this knife. I like mine so much that I ordered another for a spare.
