Kershaw Iridium Folding Pocket Knife, 3.4 inch D2 Steel Blade, DuraLock Locking Mechanism, Grey Aluminum Handle, Pocketclip

He tenido muchos cuchillos de distintas gamas y este se volvió en mi favorito, el diseño moderno, la calidad, el peso y la funcionalidad me parece excelente para ser considerado una navaja con precio accesible. Hasta ahora no he visto que se oxide pero también siempre trato de mantenerla aceitada. El único pero que le pondría es que el clip es más ajustado de lo que me gustaría. La hoja se siente sólida al estar desplegada, el filo que trae de fabrica es sorprendente.

Ein Traum von einem Messer. Sehr schön und super scharf. Leider nicht 42a konform in Deutschland das muss einem klar sein.

I don't typically consider Kershaw to be all that impressive in regard to ease of action, blade retention, or even aesthetic appeal, obviously the last is strictly subjective to my own preference and can't be taken as anything objectively disagreeable comparatively. That being said, after one of the chefs I worked with picked up the original release with mirror blade and brass liner I was intrigued, the blade design and scales were sleek, edge was definitely sharp and the bar lock offered multiple action options all of which were smooth and fast. I bought the black option the same day from blade hq, and then a 2nd one from Amazon. I work in a kitchen and breaking down boxes, cutting into multiple layers of cater wrapping when new guy gets too ambitious with the plastic wrap, and a myriad number of other needs this knife gets a lot of action daily. After a month of heavy use it's still sharp, I keep my chef knives razor sharp whether it's a honing steal, ceramic, porcelain, or leather strop, and regularly run my knives on whetstones to keep them savage sharp, it's habitual daily ritual, I haven't given this knife the treatment because it hasn't needed it. It will hold an edge, I can't speak to retention for people using the knife for whittling wood or using it to cut carpet, rope, or whatever other things put a strain on the edge more than cardboard, varying spec plastic, and butchers twine. Action is still smooth, and is honestly enjoyable enough to be considered a bladed fidget spinner, it's entertaining and incredibly satisfying to feel the blade lock into place, just a tip if you are using the lock bar to deploy, only hold it down until the blade releases from closed lock position, otherwise you'll run the risk of having it kick back and close or fail to lock into open position on your first swivel, I typically thum flick the stud to open and then only use the lock bar to release and close but whatever your preference is just be aware of that. I would recommend this knife to anyone looking for an incredibly reasonable priced edc that offers more bang for your buck than almost any knife I can think of. Does it measure up to a Benchmade bugout, in a lot of ways, absolutely. Obviously blade quality isn't comparable but that's where the 180-300$ price point for a bugout comes in. You could buy 3-5 of these Kershaw for one Benchmade. Just saying...

Primero es una navaja para mi gusto algo pequeña pero es muy bonita, no le halle ningún defecto visible, todo bien acabado y bien hecho muy llamativa y elegante, el acero d2 no es inoxidable asi que hay que limpiarla de vez en cuando pero retiene muy bien el filo aun que llego con un filo decente la reperfile a mi gusto con un acabado espejo, el sistema de seguro que llaman dura-lock es un cross-bar como los de benchmade y que anda de moda ahorita, la verdad es muy confiable no tiene ningún juego todo bien seguro como roca en conclusión una navaja que te ofrece mucho mas por lo que pagas.

It came very sharp
