Kershaw Clash
USA Made - Chinese Steel Blade
Liner Lock - Assister Opening
Bought it to see if 8Cr13Mov was any good and to see if I would like an AO knife without spending a ton of cash. I had enough points left on my Bass Pro Gold card to get it. It's a good beater knife if you don't want to ruin a spyderco or higher end kershaw. S30V is about the most expensive steel I will buy into. Opens extremely fast for a cheap knife. Ken Onion design with speed safe AO. This could easily be a great design if it weren't for the 8Cr13Mov, lack of a thumbstud, and scale material.
My thoughts on the 8Cr13Mov:
A million times better than 420, 440, AUS-6, or AUS-8. Simple to sharpen and holds an edge fairly well for a good period of time even with heavy use. I haven't broken it yet ( although I do use my knife properly ), but my friend has the same knife and somehow managed to bend about an 1/8" of the tip about 60*. I'm surprised it didn't snap.
Still waiting on a Bayoushooter spyderco...
Been carrying the Kershaw Volt II for about 3 months now. Serves all my needs.
Sent from my Droid RAZR using my trigger finger!
Nice looking knife and I assume it "works" well, too.
Spyderco Co-Pilot. I was going to replace it with a CRK small Sebenza, but the seller sent a large one instead.
yeah this one is nice, makes me want a second larger one.
an al mar falcon or eagle is on the list along with a BM 300
