This review is from: Kershaw Tanto Groove Knife with 3-D Machined Grooves on Blade (Sports)

This knife is awesome. Sharp as a razor, takes and holds a edge very well. Excellent quality knife. Blade is mounted firmly, feels like a fixed blade knife when open. Fits average size hand very comfortably. Very smooth action with a crisp click when it locks open. Knife is held together with hex head hardware, can be completely diassembled for cleaning. Tension can be adjusted on blade to facilitate opening. Knife is a little on hefty side (over 4 oz)due to the fact is is all stainless steel no plastic handles here. Tanto is not as ergonomical as a standard shaped blade. However a tanto is perfect for self-defence as this style blade is more suited for stabbing and slashing motions. This is a serious knife, not for someone who keeps a knife just to scrape their finger nails. Would recommend to a friend and purchase again myself.

I have owned and have been carrying the Kershaw Tanto Groove knife for just over a month now. The knife arrived packaged and protected well. The purchasing and shipping were both easy and expediant. I have no complaints from Amazon with this transaction at all. Now to the knife! I wanted an everyday carry knife that could be depended upon for every day cutting chores as well as defense if (goodness forbid) the issue should arise. I also had the stipulation that it couldn't break the bank. After some looking around I settled on either a kershaw JYD or the groove and decided upon the groove just because it looks so unique.
The knife feels very good in the hand and should fit a wide variety of hand sizes in my opinion. The G-10 overlays on the handle provide and excellent gripping surface even when the hand is wet. The ridges on the butt of the handle (for the thumb to rest on I BELIEVE when the knife is held in the reverse grip) are rounded and do not abrade the hand or slow one from drawing the knife when it is in your pocket. The blade is easy to deploy despite the absence of a thumb stud. It takes a little practice to get used to but the learning curve is a short one. Once deployed the liner locker is rock solid and I feel comfortable with it after using the knife. The blade comes razor sharp. Literally. Will handily shave the hair from your arm right out of the box and the the grooves in the blade and inward curve offer a funky design to the tried and true 'tanto' design. As for cutting all i can offer is that it makes quick work of everyday cutting chores (rope, 550 cord, boxes, impromptu letter opener). The weight is such that you forget you have it in your pocket until you need it and the pocket clip is a sturdy little thing that takes an amount of breaking in. It is very stiff but it will hold the knife in your pocket without ANY problems. All in all if you are looking for a rock solid pocket folder that will take on any chores i would highly recommend this knife.

This is a beautiful knife. It has the perfect weight, a unique solid handle, and a blade that all your friends will want to take a closer look at. The pocket clip can be moved to right hand point up or point down. Does not have left hand option, but I still gave it a 5 because I am right handed so I don't care. A must have for anyone who likes knives. Keep it as your EDC or put it on display. It is functional and great looking. I don't know how to convey to you how impressed you will be with this knife. I would gladly pay double what I paid on Amazon, and you will not be disappointed.
