Yeah, they got me too, but the last few or more years they haven’t had anything that was much more than ehhhh….. and the designs I liked weren’t constructed well. I think people new to knives are their biggest customer base.
I got my Boker Joker 🃏 from Blade Ops, FAST shippers 📦 I used to LOVE my Kershaw Scalion. I carried it 365 back in 2015-2016 and accidentally left it at a job site. This Kershaw doesn’t look too bad, I like the overall style a lot. I’d carry it as a user.
I still have a Skyline in a clam pack, I agree the price point with what is available with those materials is to high. Thanks for sharing BigRed, be safe.
First flipper I ever bought was the Leek. Can’t tell you how many times I was bitten by it lol 😂 Thanks JB. Hope you’re enjoying your time with the family. Maybe next year we can meet up.
It is a touch on the expensive side, depending on where you buy it. BHQ and Amazon are sub-$50. Most others are sub-$60. Seems pretty reasonable in that price range. And some folks just don't want to buy Chinese brands, straight up. Kershaw does have a strong brand presence and people trust them, so they can upcharge a bit for sure. I do think their China OEM knives should be lower to compete with Chinese brands and keep them at arms length, though. Those brands are a dime-a-dozen these days, so Kershaw can really maintain a stronghold on the market space by being even more competitive, even if they didn't feel the need. Stay out in front! Frankly I'm surprised it's not assisted 😆I swear 99% of their China OEM knives are A/O. It's got that classic Kershaw design language, which I dig. They just make plain old attractive knives IMO. Good stuff. Thanks JB! 👍
I agree completely about Kershaw and CRKT being off the mark at this point. Same thing with Buck in my opinion, even though that’s a little different since Most Bucks are still US-made. It seems like these companies just don’t have a desire/ability to keep up with current levels of value that are being offered by everyone else. I don’t foresee them being able to survive much longer with this approach to pricing.
@@BigRedEDC assisted ok thou jus had issue with my leek that sealed deal that I'm over it less its a microtech otf now if some more 4in blades are made 😆
Kershaw is what got me hooked on knives
Yeah...had a lot to do with my interest as well

I like it - it's a nice update on their Skyline-kind of knife.
Thank you very much for watching!

Thanks as always Grim!

Thanks for checking it out
Thanks for sharing JB.
Always a pleasure Tim!
Definitely have that nostalgia thing going on with Kershaw. Still don’t buy them but once in awhile. They do knock one out of the park occasionally.
Some good ones for sure Bill!
It is a pretty cool design! Great video JB 👍
Thanks Jeremy!
Good looking knife. I would get one for 35 to 40 bucks. I agree, a little over priced compared to all the upcoming competition. Thanks JB.
More in the ballpark for sure
Decent little knife to throw in your tackle box
Thanks Mat
I like this one! Thanks for the look at it, buddy!
Right on David!!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts Salamando
I think Kershaw is getting better again
Right on Kathleen
I use to only buy Kershaw but there’s so much out there I haven’t got one in years
Right there with you DrDrew!!
Good looking knife and review JB thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !
Agree with you on the price
Thank you Micheal!
I think you are right. If it was going for under 50 it would be a great price
Yeah...that's where I am as well Jr!
Good looking blade. Priced a bit high, to me.
Hope you're having a good time.
Take care and stay safe. Merry Christmas!
Thanks so much my friend! Merry Christmas
Enjoy your reviews and your content. Nice knife, but nothing I am burning to buy. My next purchase is going to be an Olight Baton 3 Pro.
Thanks David!!

Yeah...it's not every knife but does happen often
Got to enjoy Kershaw
Right on Kevin
I like it was pins and needles waiting for u open it thank God it not assisted 😅
🤣🤣🤣
@@BigRedEDC assisted ok thou jus had issue with my leek that sealed deal that I'm over it less its a microtech otf now if some more 4in blades are made 😆
Doesn't float my boat😊
Right on Mike!
Every time that I think of Kershaw, I think leek, blurr, or Cole pepper…
Yeah...popular models for sure
Should really get that hard spot in your heart looked at I don't think that's a good thing 😆 great video man 👍
Lol....thanks David!!
👏🏻
👍👍👍
How is the handle? Comfortable? Thank you
Sorry if I didn't describe that enough in the video. Yes, the handle is comfortable but the clip does land a little odd in my hand.
Its got mass appeal for sure
I dig the design
👍🏼👍🏼
👊👊👊
Your price is dead on.
Thanks Jim!
Kershaw ok I guess
Thanks Cliff!
$44.99 at BladeHQ right now great price, cool knife JB.
