... With very good workmanship, good functionality. With regard to material selection is clearly gets the stately price but definitely better - so no full marks. Specifically: The blade buck special heat-treated 420HC (54-56HRC) is rust resistant, but not entirely rostrfei. Open through the elongated opening hole works with some acclimatization quite well, the opening means of the short geratenen Flippers contrast, only with a lot of momentum from the wrist. In relation to the length of the hollow-ground blade is fairly strong and holding a lot of. The (3 fingers) handle is made of nylon and is moderately firm, the pinball "hook" but when opened prevented from slipping - even the slight thumb ramp helps when working with a lot of pressure and effectively replaces the missing Jimping. The blade is mounted without play and sitting closed correctly middle. Is locked by liner lock, which is also easy to solve because of the generous overhang. The end of the handle securely mounted clip can be converted for left and right handed in the tip-up position. The processing is completely clean and immaculate. Conclusion: Criticism there ansich no, apart from quite ordinary price - yes, the blade is made in the USA, - but that justifies my opinion not nearly 40, - for a knife of this size and with materials that are otherwise more in diameter to the 20, - are found, - even if the most Deutl. are processed worse. What's also going shows as example Kershaw offering at this price is also very good with knives and processing functionality, but usually much better materials.
