After a year of daily use for work, alternating with other knives, mainly for cutting foil and cardboard: it keeps razor sharpness for a very long time (I sharpen it with the Lensky Turn Box), it is very pleasant to hold and extremely enjoyable to open with this system. Its appearance is pleasing to the eye. No signs of wear. I think it is intended for heavier work.
Everyday carry folding knife designed for EDC. The blade features a modified drop-point shape, crafted from stainless steel 8Cr13MoV, known for its easy sharpening, reliable edge retention, and excellent resistance to corrosion. A stonewash finish on the blade conceals scratches and wear from regular use.
Opening the knife is facilitated by a flipper, which also acts as a compact cross guard once deployed, preventing the hand from slipping forward. A robust liner-lock mechanism ensures the blade remains securely locked in the open position.
The ergonomically designed handle features scales made of glass-fiber reinforced nylon. The deeply textured surface ensures a secure grip, even when hands are wet.
Convenient everyday carry is ensured by a spring clip attached to the handle, allowing secure attachment to a belt or pocket edge. The reversible clip can be positioned for tip-up or tip-down carry, accommodating both right- and left-handed users.

Kershaw is an American knife brand, founded in 1974 by Pete Kershaw in Oregon, which from the very beginning has focused on the highest quality and practical solutions for hunters, anglers, and everyday users. In 1977, the company was acquired by the Japanese Kai Group, allowing it to combine American innovation with Japanese craftsmanship. In 1998, Kershaw revolutionized the market by introducing the SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism, and in the following years won prestigious Blade Show awards for models such as the Tyrade with Composite Blade technology combining two different types of steel. The brand is also known for its collaboration with renowned knifemakers, including Ken Onion, Ernest Emerson, and Rick Hinderer, which has resulted in iconic models such as the Leek and Cryo.
