The Barge! And the Copper Natrix I pre ordered. When's it coming in!? I can't wait!!! Although I do get an auto email every so often tells me to wait which I like... Good job!
I work 2 blocks away from Kershaw and every year they have a warehouse sale the first weekend of December, every knive is about 50% off. I absolutely love the quality and customer service. With that said my favorites are the Scallion, Launch 2 and 3. My wife carries the Chive every day and wont leave home without it. Be cautious when buying Kershaw online, if the blade has 4X's on it they do not have the lifetime warranty. Cheers
I've daily carried a Blur since 2008. I bought my first one in 2008, in a tanto blade configuration. Broke the tip, reshaped and sharpened it back. Lost it two separate times for multiple years and it somehow found its way back to me. It's since been retired for sentimental reasons, but I've worn two more since then. One, I lost and never found and the other I've had since 2012. It's now 2023. The grip tape inlay has peeled a bit and I've sharpened it one time with a worksharp sharpener and that's it. It just works. It goes everywhere with me.
I bought the Kershaw Filter at Walmart for $21.00. Awesome knife and very durable. It is a tank that you could probably pass down to your great grandkids. A Humvee couldn't break that thing. 😂 The Cryo II looks just like mine for the most part. Thank you for the video review. 😎✌️
Old video but I just received a launch 1 AND launch 4 and I’m impressed with the quality of both. The launch 1 has a good strong snappy action and it is extremely comfortable. The launch 4 is small but mighty!! When you press the button, it deploys EXTEEMELY fast! I throw the 4 in my pocket as it is small.
I used a launch two for about three years as my daily,breaking down boxes and such every day.then I sold it to a buddy two years ago,who carries it daily,(he's a comercial electrician) He showed it to me the other day,and apart from being dull as a butter knife,and being a little less snappy on the opening,(because it was so gritty),it was solid as a rock.I have multiple autos,benchmade,protech,etc,and a launch 7 now-build quality,none of those higher end peices have jack on kershaw!
The link slides every where with a bad clip and slippery aluminum. Kershaw knives generally suck. Bad material. The link went with okay materials, but dont trust that knife to retain in pocket.
The first Kershaw that I ever owned was the OSO Sweet. It was my EDC for several years and I liked it so much that I've given away a dozen, or so, of them to friends and family. A perfect all around pocket knife. My current favorite that I've carried for the past few years is the Blur, in black, with the black partially serrated tanto blade. It's been a beast! I have at least 2, maybe 3, other Kershaws in my collection. All very good knives and very affordable!
So far, I’ve bought 10 Eris’. Mostly as gifts. I Collect ZT but I every day carry the ERIS. it’s just a great little knife, it’s attractive, sharp, easy to sharpen, functional, comfortable… everything you’d want
Bought 2 leeks, In the blackwash composite. I love the Leek, its my favorite EDC. I EDC about 11 different Kershaw knives. I also love the Kershaw Endgame.
Concur with the Blur and that’s fer sure. Made in Portland, OR where I live. My latest knife purchase is the Blur with S30V in satin with black handle. Iconic. I think I bought it from you guys. I insist on the authentic article from an authentic dealer. Thanks.
Own a few Kershaw. Honestly I carry a $20 Kershaw burst most often. It’s pretty awesome. Of these wasn’t a fan of the Emerson Kershaws I bought. But the cryo 2 is hard to beat. A little heavy but it’s really nice
I'm new in the knife World, about 6 months now actively collecting. I bought about 4 ir 5 Kershaw's off the Snap-on truck back in 99-2000 just for the looks. Today they are very collectible my two favorite being the liner lock. straight and serrated edge brand new in the boxes. top five link , zing, volt ss, blackout and to my amazement 8312 thistle very cheap but I like the button to unlock only one like it .
Links, Leeks, Launch 3s, and Scallions... And am trying to put my hands on more to choose a 5th but I keep getting different versions of the first 4! Serrated or plain blades, blade and frame colors, custom clips, lanyards... I clearly have enough going on with just these! Great video! 🙈🙊🙉 🇺🇸 ⚔ Love Kershaw! ⚔🇺🇸
I don't really know anything about knives but have recently gotten into them because of marvel knife tricks. I came across these these types of knives from the 1999 movie "The Secret Pact"(a movie that I got into because of tbe actor Rider Strong a.k.a Shawn Hunter on Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World). The tricks the character (Lenny Dalton) does in that movie is so simple and elegant yet so badass to me which has gotten me into those types of knives and I really want that knife so I can learn how to do that trick
Framelock leek is the best for me. I have 2 framelocks and 1 with a linerlock. I have tried the blur and find myself not liking the assist on that, but also don't like assists without flippers. It's hard to feel the action of an assist using the thumbstuds which you usually put enough force into to open manually anyway. Great video!
I really enjoyed the video,i enjoyed your approach talking about each knife's uses.i recently picked up on sale a kershaw scallion which is a fantastic small knife...keep up the good work..too bad i can not order from you as i live in brooklyn
the best for me is the Volt ll. its small and fits in my pocket without any fuss ..it stays sharp good blade design and when its on sale the best buy ever
Very late to the Blur game but just picked one up at Walmart for $68. They are standard about $90-$100 now. I did see one for $78 but definitely none in the 60 range. OH well, I guess it's because it is a well know well loved good knife. Kershaw website says MSRP $130 but can find them around 100 bucks now. Happy to have mine. I got Olive Drab. It was sharp out of the box but not sure anything will be as sharp out the box as my Launch 8 I got. That thing was ridiculous and came to a needle point.
I have been carrying the Kershaw diskin design in my pocket for 3 years now yes it's been sharpened down but I do a lot of farm work and outdoor work and I live off-grid and I wish I could find another one. I gutted and skinned a whole cow and did not sharpen the blade. The handle has never come loose the clip is never come loose. I would recommend the Cure shot juice can design to anyone and I want another one and they say they don't produce them anymore so if anybody knows how to get me another one I want one
I'm an amature knife maker and fan of many designers. I'm also a heavy knife user. The Blur is my go- to carry again and again ....there are some others that may be better is specific areas but none yet have proven to be a better all around blade...
Been rocking the Knockout M390 for the last week. My other favorite is the Dividend M390. Waiting for the copper natrix and the Bareknuckle, hope they drop soon.
I love the blade design on the shuffle 2 but hate the thin handles. Doesn't seem to match up to the beefy blade. Wish they would beef up the handle in the next version and it may make the list next time.
Skyline, an oldie but goodie. Very lightweight for the blade size, good ergos, good steel, USA made. The manual flipper will deploy as fast as any assisted with a bit of break-in and lubrication. Recently ordered a Fraxion as well.
I've had 2 Kershaw's and I lost the first one. But the second knife I was using to cut bark off a piece of wood and broke a chip out of it. The chip was too deep to grind out, so I sent it back. The knife only cost $25.00 and the warranty department wouldn't replace the blade free they wanted me to pay $25.00 for a new blade. Guess I won't be buying Kershaw knives anymore!
I have several Leek's, my favorite is the Glow in the dark carbon fiber scales with a DLC coated CPM-154 blade. I find it a nicer piece than most popular more expensive knives.
I used to own two Kershaw Amphibians until they were stolen. I had them since 1992. I bought them off of a Snap On tool truck. Where can I buy another one?
I've got the Link in Bohler M390 - by far my favorite Kershaw. The Cryo in D2 - great little knife that sees more pocket time than any of my Kershaws. And the CQCLX - which isn't a horrible knife, but is really too large; the Emerson wave will deploy the blade, but the blade will often catch on the inside of the pocket.
At the time of this vid, they didn't have the 7 & 8 yet and are by far the two best autos from the launch series. 7 is more of a tactical knife and is a beauty, then the 8 is a dagger style stiletto and is super modern looking with carbon fiber & the action is lightning quick
any links to a video showing how to operate any of the CQC using the thumb operation. Is it easy to do? And which knife is the best in this series in your opinion? Thanks man
I know it's different for everyone but I'm looking at 3 models currently for my first Kershaw.... Scallion, Blur and Cryo... Help lol. What should be my first?
After purchasing the M390 Dividend a couple months ago, I sold my Leek. The Leek is, personally, inferior to the Dividend (especially in the M390 option). If I were to do a Top 5: Dividend (M390), Knockout, Link, Blur, Camber (tho, I admit it's similar to the Dividend...bias be damned!)
The Barge! And the Copper Natrix I pre ordered. When's it coming in!? I can't wait!!! Although I do get an auto email every so often tells me to wait which I like... Good job!
Best pocket knife ever made Ken onion "Shallot"... why the hell did they discontinue such a awesome knife? Bring back the Shallot a touch bigger with a 4-inch blade dammit.. for the night is dark and full of terrors.
Dividend beats the Leek by a long shot! Dividend, Link, anything in M390, and the Cinder are my favorite Kershaw knives. The Cinder is REALLY handy as a utility tool.
Got the link went to change the pocket and it snapped in half , went to send it into kershaw to get a new clip still haven't got one back , so it just sits in my drawer
The Leek is NOT a Wharncliffe blade. They did make one for a very brief time, but the spear point is pretty much all you'll find. And the Launch has a stone-wash blade, not frame....
I thought we were naming our favorite, but everyone is naming their collection...ok: Leek, Scallion, Amplitude3.25, Showtime, Shuffle, Starter, Freefall, Oso Sweet, & Barge
I have a Cryo and love it. Carries well, easy opening, easy to sharpen. I don't like the weight, though. Imagine a world where the Cryo doesn't weigh so much. Maybe Micarta or Fiber Reinforced scales instead of the all metal design. My wish is it was closer in weight to a Spyderco Delica.
I am a habitual knife loser… iv lost more in knife then my self value at this point lol. Anyway iv spent up to 140$, which I understand is peanuts for a pocket knife (I carry a spring assist everyday and loose them unfortunately tho).. out of them all an won’t get into names the kewshaws take it.. first off if your starting out or don’t want to spend alot the Cryo is so good for the money, the leek… still prob my favorite, just lost my 3rd this week another on the way.. the size makes it easy to carry, can deploy quick and the blade is tough! Iv bent them over to the point I fig they would snap… and the Emerson stuff are tanks. My good buddy gave me a cqc8k I won’t carry because I don’t want to loose that you could use the blade as a pry bar lol. Sorry for the rank I just love them.
Tell us what your favorite Kershaw is.
The Barge! And the Copper Natrix I pre ordered. When's it coming in!? I can't wait!!! Although I do get an auto email every so often tells me to wait which I like... Good job!
Atmos!! So thin, so light, so perfect 👌
Dividend in M390. The dividend is better than the leek in every way.
Kershaw Link is my favorite
i loved my blur and someone stole it!!
I work 2 blocks away from Kershaw and every year they have a warehouse sale the first weekend of December, every knive is about 50% off. I absolutely love the quality and customer service. With that said my favorites are the Scallion, Launch 2 and 3. My wife carries the Chive every day and wont leave home without it. Be cautious when buying Kershaw online, if the blade has 4X's on it they do not have the lifetime warranty. Cheers
Knockout, Dividend (especially when the M390 is around), Atmos, Blur, Concierge
Those are some solid picks.
I own 3 of the 5.... I love them all!
I've daily carried a Blur since 2008. I bought my first one in 2008, in a tanto blade configuration. Broke the tip, reshaped and sharpened it back. Lost it two separate times for multiple years and it somehow found its way back to me. It's since been retired for sentimental reasons, but I've worn two more since then. One, I lost and never found and the other I've had since 2012. It's now 2023. The grip tape inlay has peeled a bit and I've sharpened it one time with a worksharp sharpener and that's it. It just works. It goes everywhere with me.
I have multi blurs absolutely incredible knife
So glad DCA does videos by himself
I bought the Kershaw Filter at Walmart for $21.00. Awesome knife and very durable. It is a tank that you could probably pass down to your great grandkids. A Humvee couldn't break that thing. 😂 The Cryo II looks just like mine for the most part. Thank you for the video review. 😎✌️
Old video but I just received a launch 1 AND launch 4 and I’m impressed with the quality of both. The launch 1 has a good strong snappy action and it is extremely comfortable. The launch 4 is small but mighty!! When you press the button, it deploys EXTEEMELY fast! I throw the 4 in my pocket as it is small.

LINK all the way. Been carrying it everyday for 2 years. Made in the USA with the model number of 1776
The link slides every where with a bad clip and slippery aluminum. Kershaw knives generally suck. Bad material. The link went with okay materials, but dont trust that knife to retain in pocket.
Blur is one of my all time favorite along with the leek and the knockout. Never tried autos but those are my fav
Blur series is my favorite Kershaw line.
Kershaw 1830 OSO Sweet. EDC. Love it.
Leek definitely. Blur definitely. I just got Husker and XL Reverb.
I have got the leek (with dual composite on blade) and the blur. Both of them are really nice to use.
I carry the Blur quite a lot, as well as the Link! I'm a BIG Kershaw fan!
The first Kershaw that I ever owned was the OSO Sweet. It was my EDC for several years and I liked it so much that I've given away a dozen, or so, of them to friends and family.

The CQC is my favorite. The Em wave feature on it is the most reliable automatic opening device of its kind.
M390 Dividend, M390 Link, Knockout, Camp 10 for outdoors, and AM3 for gentleman's carry.
There is a m390 knockout now. It's at USA Blade for $100 starting. They have a few models.
Own a few Kershaw. Honestly I carry a $20 Kershaw burst most often. It’s pretty awesome. Of these wasn’t a fan of the Emerson Kershaws I bought. But the cryo 2 is hard to beat. A little heavy but it’s really nice
I'm new in the knife World, about 6 months now actively collecting. I bought about 4 ir 5 Kershaw's off the Snap-on truck back in 99-2000 just for the looks. Today they are very collectible my two favorite being the liner lock. straight and serrated edge brand new in the boxes. top five link , zing, volt ss, blackout and to my amazement 8312 thistle very cheap but I like the button to unlock only one like it .
Kershaw 3880 black wash 3.5" blade, Hinderer design....bought two @ about $25 each...EDC love 'em
Links, Leeks, Launch 3s, and Scallions...
And am trying to put my hands on more to choose a 5th but I keep getting different versions of the first 4! Serrated or plain blades, blade and frame colors, custom clips, lanyards... I clearly have enough going on with just these! Great video! 🙈🙊🙉
🇺🇸 ⚔ Love Kershaw! ⚔🇺🇸
Just picked up a launch 2 months ago. Love it!
Dividend M390 is by far my favorite.

The blur and leek are classics-like Buck 110 level status.
I don't have 5 Kershaws but I have been carrying a Blur since 05 and it still locks up tight without any play.
Never too late to add to the collection. Glad to hear the Blur is still holding up.
Dang... it's tough to pick a top 5 but I think that the Knockout should have been on this list with out question!
RJ Tactical 3.0, Scallion, Oso Sweet
Very late to the Blur game but just picked one up at Walmart for $68. They are standard about $90-$100 now. I did see one for $78 but definitely none in the 60 range. OH well, I guess it's because it is a well know well loved good knife. Kershaw website says MSRP $130 but can find them around 100 bucks now. Happy to have mine. I got Olive
Drab. It was sharp out of the box but not sure anything will be as sharp out the box as my Launch 8 I got. That thing was ridiculous and came to a needle point.
Have carried the leek for years, just got a dividend and like it very much.
Launch 13 for tactical use and a blur for everything from duck hunting to opening boxes at work
I have 11 Kerahaws. My favs are the Link, Thermite, and Thistle. Good edc :)
I have been carrying the Kershaw diskin design in my pocket for 3 years now yes it's been sharpened down but I do a lot of farm work and outdoor work and I live off-grid and I wish I could find another one.

The Link and Knockout!
Those are some great knives.
Most of my knives are Kershaw and I have two of the Launch 1s and one of the Launch 2s. They are by far the best autos for the money.
I have the second one I like it
What a great job you guys have.....
I'm an amature knife maker and fan of many designers. I'm also a heavy knife user. The Blur is my go- to carry again and again ....there are some others that may be better is specific areas but none yet have proven to be a better all around blade...
Been rocking the Knockout M390 for the last week. My other favorite is the Dividend M390. Waiting for the copper natrix and the Bareknuckle, hope they drop soon.
I sold my ZT's and kept my M390 Knockout, that should tell ya something.
David Mayle
Been rocking the 1050 folder for 35 years and it still has plenty of life left.
I love the blade design on the shuffle 2 but hate the thin handles. Doesn't seem to match up to the beefy blade. Wish they would beef up the handle in the next version and it may make the list next time.
My Skyline XL is my favorite Kershaw.
I'm really digging the Seguin.
Skyline, an oldie but goodie. Very lightweight for the blade size, good ergos, good steel, USA made. The manual flipper will deploy as fast as any assisted with a bit of break-in and lubrication. Recently ordered a Fraxion as well.
Great video guys
Thanks for supporting the Royal Rangers!
I have a Leek in D2/Sandvik, Cryo II, Oso Sweet, Thistle, and (my favorite Kershaw) a Link in S35VN. Thinking of getting the California Launch.
Oscar Medina I adore my cryo 2. Great knife.
Should be the Knockout, my current favorite. Can't wait to get the Bareknuckle too.
I've had 2 Kershaw's and I lost the first one. But the second knife I was using to cut bark off a piece of wood and broke a chip out of it. The chip was too deep to grind out, so I sent it back. The knife only cost $25.00 and the warranty department wouldn't replace the blade free they wanted me to pay $25.00 for a new blade. Guess I won't be buying Kershaw knives anymore!

Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Kershaw shield is the best !
I've got the Link in Bohler M390 - by far my favorite Kershaw. The Cryo in D2 - great little knife that sees more pocket time than any of my Kershaws. And the CQCLX - which isn't a horrible knife, but is really too large; the Emerson wave will deploy the blade, but the blade will often catch on the inside of the pocket.
Leek is great I agree but my new favorite is the Knockout. Lightweight and durable.
At the time of this vid, they didn't have the 7 & 8 yet and are by far the two best autos from the launch series. 7 is more of a tactical knife and is a beauty, then the 8 is a dagger style stiletto and is super modern looking with carbon fiber & the action is lightning quick
Guys can u go over best 2inch blade
any links to a video showing how to operate any of the CQC using the thumb operation. Is it easy to do? And which knife is the best in this series in your opinion? Thanks man
Excellent Review!
Bareknuckle wins for me, with the Astada a close second!
Just purchased a oso as my first knife from you guys
Best Kershaw is/was the Shallot by Ken Onion design!!!! Perfect size, thin, just needed a deep carry clip
I know it's different for everyone but I'm looking at 3 models currently for my first Kershaw.... Scallion, Blur and Cryo... Help lol. What should be my first?
natrix is becoming pretty popular especially with the copper scale
Cryo 2 and Knock out...
Knockout
Camber (what the Blur should be)
Dividend
Natrix
Thermite (better budget than Cryo)
Or it could develop a Christmas gift list application or wedding gift-giving registry.
Lifter 🥇
Knockout, Launch 1, Dividend, Injection series
Kershaw Crown!😊
1830 Oso Sweet
After purchasing the M390 Dividend a couple months ago, I sold my Leek. The Leek is, personally, inferior to the Dividend (especially in the M390 option). If I were to do a Top 5: Dividend (M390), Knockout, Link, Blur, Camber (tho, I admit it's similar to the Dividend...bias be damned!)
Been wanting a launch 1 forever. Still can't find one for a decent price
Cryo II, Eris, Injection 3.0/3.5, Natrix cf. 👍🏽🔪
Leek, Brawler, Launch 2 serrated, & Launch 4
The Volt
The Barge! And the Copper Natrix I pre ordered. When's it coming in!? I can't wait!!! Although I do get an auto email every so often tells me to wait which I like... Good job!
Hi
Best pocket knife ever made Ken onion "Shallot"... why the hell did they discontinue such a awesome knife?
Bring back the Shallot a touch bigger with a 4-inch blade dammit.. for the night is dark and full of terrors.
Dividend beats the Leek by a long shot! Dividend, Link, anything in M390, and the Cinder are my favorite Kershaw knives. The Cinder is REALLY handy as a utility tool.
Got the link went to change the pocket and it snapped in half , went to send it into kershaw to get a new clip still haven't got one back , so it just sits in my drawer
What is EDC please 🇬🇧
I carry an Oso Sweet along with a Super Tool 300. Great combo for edc. Oh and a Protac for lighting the way.
Blur baby....Tanto blade w/ tiger stripes, NICE.
The Leek is NOT a Wharncliffe blade. They did make one for a very brief time, but the spear point is pretty much all you'll find. And the Launch has a stone-wash blade, not frame....
I thought we were naming our favorite, but everyone is naming their collection...ok:
Leek, Scallion, Amplitude3.25, Showtime, Shuffle, Starter, Freefall, Oso Sweet, & Barge
Knockout is my edc
I have a Cryo and love it. Carries well, easy opening, easy to sharpen. I don't like the weight, though. Imagine a world where the Cryo doesn't weigh so much. Maybe Micarta or Fiber Reinforced scales instead of the all metal design. My wish is it was closer in weight to a Spyderco Delica.
I am a habitual knife loser… iv lost more in knife then my self value at this point lol. Anyway iv spent up to 140$, which I understand is peanuts for a pocket knife (I carry a spring assist everyday and loose them unfortunately tho).. out of them all an won’t get into names the kewshaws take it.. first off if your starting out or don’t want to spend alot the Cryo is so good for the money, the leek… still prob my favorite, just lost my 3rd this week another on the way.. the size makes it easy to carry, can deploy quick and the blade is tough! Iv bent them over to the point I fig they would snap… and the Emerson stuff are tanks. My good buddy gave me a cqc8k I won’t carry because I don’t want to loose that you could use the blade as a pry bar lol. Sorry for the rank I just love them.
Knockout Leek Dividend scallion Link
Concierge,Atmos, Blur can't believe Bareknuckle wasn't there. Not sure on #5 yet.
Cool 11/17/2018 thankyou
