I wish I could thumb this comment up more than once. Kershaw has many assisted knives I'm interested in but I can't bring myself to buy one. I'd love to see some of the assisted models have a manual variant. Especially on knives like the Link and Dividend.
My ZT 0460 and 0462 are expensive enough that they make me worry when I have them out. This knife fits the bill in looks and price, so I have no problem carrying it. It is a great little knife.
Thanks Stassa. A lot to like, with this one. A very good looking knife. You're right. A bare spot, should have been left under that clip's pinch-point. One thing that strikes me, is how close that pivot pin is to the edge of the scales. Wow, when was the last time we saw one that close?
Steve Kluver yeah it’s definitely as close as you can get it. You would think when they did the counterbore for it that it would crack the edge. The only reason it shouldn’t be a problem is that the actual threader part is probably half the size of the head
I just did a mail call unboxing video where I got the Tumbler. My first impression is that the Tumbler is an amazing knife for the price. I just love how light weight it is.
Brian Wallace ole kershaw putting out sooooooo many diff knives i turn away from them. They good knives, but we hv waaaay more choices now. They even use m390!! Im like w t f??
I have the Atmos so I am probably going to get this one too. My flipper on the Atmos was stiff at 1st but 3rd week in so far and I learned how to flip it with my index fingernail so it rockets out and also if you watch Blade HQ video where they are showing Kershaw selections and dude w/ the glasses pulls out the Atmos and also said what everyone else thinks, That Kershaw should ditch the A/O knives LOL! But he flips the Atmos weird and when I thought about it he pulled the flipper tab and not flicked it. I started doing it that way and wow! He finnesed the stiff tab alright but now the tab is smooths afyet 1000 flips LOL... Love the Review as usual Stassa23
Nice review...I’m not a big Kershaw fan but I do like the looks of this one, and the price is right in there. Also like the smaller flipper tab as it will allow more of the blades belly to lay flat on the board. Good job buddy.
I got this knife in like a week or 2 ago and I’m really liking it! I wish some of the edges were rounded off and it had a sharpening Choil. Like u said easy fixes but for $67.95 I feel like they could have done it. But overall I really like it. It’s my favorite model kershaw has put out this year.
i always hear people talk about the steel, but it dont matter to me as you have to ask yourself,am i really going to use this knife in a way that it matters?? my answer is no on all cases. so i havent seen a steel not get sharp enough to cut so 8cr13mov is fine aus8 is fine d2 is great 440c is great. most people who complain the loudest never even use there knives in a manner whereit will matter. even if i have to hit my knives on a stone 2,3 times a week is no big deal. hell if i need a few swipes every night i still good
I really like the Sinkevich designed knives but once again Kershaw cuts any corner available to make a few bones without regard to the consumer. Thanks for showing this model, the honest review and the design flaws.
Had t they made this knife in the US they would have ...would be...selling more than they probably are. though , many "enthusiasts" are buying knives from China anyway...willing to pay WE pricing, Reate pricing...buying Civivi knives so....if you aren't biased....this isn't a bad deal...even for D2 steel knife. Which reallly IS fine for what "enthusiasts" use their knives for anyway...easier to sharpen then the "super steel" knives...
I already ordered one. It's got a lot of things I like about it, the clip is my favorite type, the blade size to weight, that it's a sinkevich and that it's in D2 instead of 8cr13 and not assisted. Yes I dislike 8cr13 so much that I'm willing to pay the extra money, probably wouldn't have got it in 8cr13 at $35-$40, I just do not have good luck with it.
Good for an overseas Kershaw. Those proud screws under the pocket clip and the low clearance are frustrating decisions and are why I would pass. Tired of pocket chewers. When are manufacturers going to start paying more attention to the clip area? Too many years of rough G10 and exposed screws...
I was curious to ask if you have an opinion on Kershaw m390 they use? I was pondering getting the Kershaw knockout from knife center one of their exclusives with carbon fiber and m390!
West Coast Life788 I’m guessing your talking about the Bestech Texel in jade g10. It’s much more comfortable to grip compared to the Kershaw Tumbler because they don’t have any sharp edges. Hope that helps I wasn’t sure if that’s what you were asking
Stassa23 Ya that’s what I was asking! Sorry I’m not into all the knife gargon. What do you think of the ZT 0556 and 0350? I was thinking to get one of them in the black wash
My Tumbler has the same recurve. Typical Kershaw quality, at least for the Chinese made stuff anyways. Great design otherwise. Wish they gave production of this one to ZT.
id never buy this ones when i can get a copper natrix for 49$ in d2 or a link in m390 for 76$ a blur in s30v for 72$ or a leek in cpm154 for 68$. just to many other better knives for close to the same price
Nice to see when Kershaw uses bearing action over assisted.
NewCastleNinja totally agree. I hate assisted knives. This looks like a winner

Definitely my favorite design from Kershaw this year not a surprise that you where attracted to the design 😉
Brian Wallace ole kershaw putting out sooooooo many diff knives i turn away from them. They good knives, but we hv waaaay more choices now. They even use m390!! Im like w t f??
Brian Wallace I figured you would have bought one 😎👊🏻👊🏻
Stassa23 I haven’t purchased one yet but I do really like the design for sure
Very nice offering from Kershaw, like the design ! Thanks for sharing sir!👍😊
Awesome review thanks just bought it and didn't have any idea about it very thorough review liked it a lot
gwlewis73 it’s my favorite budget kershaw this year 👍🏻 glad your enjoying yours

I took 1000 grit to all of them. I love this thing.
I really do like that knife a lot .

Kl C they think they’re the cats meow of knife manufacturers. Even. Using m390!! Plz. Just plz
I want to buy the Kershaw Tumblr
Is it a good buy?worth it .i do love Kershaw knives😁ita a 🏆 again.
First crkt I've really wanted in a while. Thank you mate. Atb paddy 👍☘️😃
paddys potato peelers same here
👍 very informative
that's a great design....why? why kershaw did you not make it in usa?
Like any Sinkiweicv design, d2 is good but cant understand why they wouldn't use 14cn28. I thought kershaw helped develop it. Thanks Harry
Harry Wright id like to see that as well especially since they use it in a lot of the US produced knives

Not bad. I expected it to be USA made for the price.
If they make a 20cv or M390 down the road will get one. Til then I can wait.
Mike Gauthier They do make one. They are the ZT 0460 and ZT 0462.
That's a very nice knife .I have to get me one

Mt. Baldwin i don’t mind paying more for it either rather than get 8cr 👌🏻

Some good features, some bad. I'll have to see this one in person before committing to it.
This knife would be a good test of this style knife at a low price then buy better if you like it
Were would be the best place to buy one at .
Rickey Bullington i put a link in the description 👍🏻
I was curious to ask if you have an opinion on Kershaw m390 they use? I was pondering getting the Kershaw knockout from knife center one of their exclusives with carbon fiber and m390!
osmosis 01 i don’t recall ever using any of their knives in M390 sorry
23rd Like ! just like Stassa23 !
And nice looking little offering that kershaw there.
Thomas Tsunami ooooooh yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Is the grey handle easy to grip over the textured one?
West Coast Life788 what grey handle are you talking about?
@@Stassa23 The greeny grey one your comparing it to

U can get a better china knife like a civivi for a better price. If it was a usa knife I'd pick one up.
My Tumbler has the same recurve. Typical Kershaw quality, at least for the Chinese made stuff anyways. Great design otherwise. Wish they gave production of this one to ZT.
it should have the same re curve as its the same knife and was designed that way
You got to get some affiliate links bro.
Joe Kelly IV i added a link where I got the knife but I wish they would be affiliate links 👌🏻
thx bud
Take care
Waiting on your custom knife lol
Joe Kelly IV I’m am almost ready to do the review on my Roosevelt I just need to use it a little more so hopefully I’ll do the video soon 👌🏻
I really think the may have watched your review cause mine is a lot more smoother
id never buy this ones when i can get a copper natrix for 49$ in d2 or a link in m390 for 76$ a blur in s30v for 72$ or a leek in cpm154 for 68$. just to many other better knives for close to the same price
Love this knife except one thing, “Made in China”.
why
