Some nice looking designs here! Kershaw always has something for everyone. From more novel designs that interest 'non-knife' folks to some really solid, straightforward designs for people who don't want too much flash and stick to basics. Really digging the dura-lock designs. Especially the Monitor and Iridium. Would love to see some of these offered in more premium blade steels and different handle materials, too! The newest Launch 15 and the OTF look fantastic. Really well executed first OTF design. Glad they took their time making it right.
I really appreciate kershaw keeping their prices the same, although I wish they made more premium knives besides ZT. Would love to see some premium steels and materials in the future
I like kershaw more than benchmade because their prices are actually fair and realistic. Had a kershaw in my pocket everyday for years with zero issues.
A lot of the Kershaws are Made in China. Not to say they aren't good knives, but where things are made means a lot to people. Kershaw makes some damn good knives, but the American line, the autos mostly are much higher quality. I for one will be buying a few of these new Kershaws! Definitely solid pricing on the American made stuff here.
Also one has to consider materials. Kershaw uses some really poor steal choices on some of their knives. Smart on their part though. They are aiming at the average customer, not the 'knife nerds'. The average customers don't understand or particularly seem to care what the blade steel is. They just want a cool looking design and Kershaw still has that name recognition. So they're gonna sell a TON of these China made 8cr knives because they did pump out some pretty stellar designs this time.
Don't even look at the imports. Their American made line with great steel amd designs are still much more reasonable than the overpriced benchmade and spyderco.
@@chrislorusso7895your right. I only look at or consider their made in USA knives. But their China line are good for the price, but just like you, not my cup of tea. You know Spyderco also produce a lot of China knives too.
I’m definitely picking up the Kershaw Livewire OTF. My boss at work just got a Microtech OTF and it was around 500 bucks. But he mentioned that Kershaw made one that was just as good for 250, so that’s how I wound up on this video. I’ve owned Kershaw knives since the 70’s and have three of more modern assisted openers in my collection now. But man, the very best Kershaw I’ve ever owned I bought as a teenager in the 70’s. Easily the most beautiful folder of that era and I wish I still had it. A back lock of course, drop point blade, and very beefy. Deep finger grooves on the scales with thick brass bolsters on both ends. Not sure what happened to it but I’m sure I traded it for something years ago. I once traded an old Case Bowie knife for a 125 motorcycle, but that was a bad trade since the crankcase was cracked and I burnt out the engine at the dirt track. Kids, whatcha gonna do? I’m getting the Livewire asap. Thanks for the video and all the latest Kershaw offerings (from a year ago). 🤙🏼

@@yournostroleeoleeolees. Yeah man! Kershaw was top of the line in the 70’s and 80’s. Then there was a few years they weren’t that great, since everyone started making knives, but now they’re back stronger than ever! Really neat designs now and still less expensive than the designer type knives from endless companies. But their older models had high carbon steel blades which nobody makes anymore because it’s too expensive. My old Kershaw cost maybe 75 bucks in the 70’s but that same blade steel and quality would probably be $500 now. And nobody would buy it because carbon steel rusts and requires lots of care. But it’s still by far the best blade steel. Back then, if a knife didn’t rust, then it was stainless and a piece of crap that will never get razor sharp like carbon. Nowadays, everyone boasts about stainless blended steels that don’t rust and require no care at all. That’s the opposite of what we wanted, we loved taking care of our knives. It was a matter of pride to keep older carbon steel in mint condition and pass it down to the sons and grandsons. Knives were family heirlooms. Now they’re almost disposable and so easy to replace. Oh well, times change. So cool you’re a Kershaw dude and you would have loved the really old ones that were around in my day. Keep collecting knives and have fun my friend! 🤙🏼👊

@@tyarnold4088 , No I never did. I heard that automatic knives are illegal here. Very strange since the gun laws aren’t that strict. I’m still looking into it though. I’m thinking this law goes way back to the old stiletto switchblades which are no faster than a flip knife. Good to hear from you bro. 👊
Those Durabar knives looks slick and simple. Not too much in your face, but not mundane. Kershaw knows how to work with grayscale pallets very well. *Benchmade. Count your days.*
I like a thumb stud. And assisted opening.. I've got a little small Kershaw knife. And of course I've got the leek. Both knives still operate as good as they did 30 years ago. I still love Ken onion for coming up with that design. Assisted knives are great! Thanks Ken.. and thank you Kershaw!
Adding the Livewire to my BladeHQ wish list! Love the button placement. Others have it on the sides and don't carry comfortably as the button either is printing out the front of your pant leg or pushing into your leg. Well done Kershaw! One of my EDC is still the Ken Onion Leek. Can't wait to add the Livewire.
My EDC knife has been a Leek for about 7 years now. As of this past weekend it got retired when I purchased the Livewire 9000! It's my first otf but after holding and working many more expensives otf's at, well I'll just say "The Worlds Largest Knife Store" the Livewire not only felt the best in my hand, it's action is phenomenal, both ways! MAKE THE PURCHASE! You won't regret it!!!
@@willcordelo9582how much is it?? Probably to much for me to afford but if it's really that good maybe I can try my best to save up the money but I dought il be able to
Give Guardian Tactical a try...by far my favorite EDC OTF of all time, including all of my microtechs. Smoothest action ever with a ceramic enhanced switch...and ELMAX steel to boot. I have yet to see an OTF that's better.
My fav kershaw is still the 3410. I own 2 of those. Simple, straight forward, easy to open and close with 1hand, never failing, and personalized for me and my girl. I own a bunch of kershaws, but i always put that one in my pocket
I had a kershaw tanto assisted opener that i got at walmart during the holiday season for 25 bucks when i was 18. by far my favorite knife. the clip broke and kershaw sent me a new clip for free, no questions asked. i lost that knife a few years ago and have been wanting to get another kershaw soon. this line up looks great!
I already bought the Heist and I LOVE IT! Because of the washers it takes a min to break in but when it does its very smooth. The next one on my list is probably going to be the Livewire. Super Sick OTF!!!
Whenever someone talks about a big thick blade, I always look over at the beast mounted on the wall behind my bench. The Buckmaster 184 is a absolute beast of a knife. I bought it in 87 i think and set out to put a razor edge on it. After a couple cups of coffee and a couple cigarette breaks I achieved a very nice edge. Not razor but for a knife designed for chopping down trees it was more than enough. I carried it once on a backpacking bow hunt and it has been on the wall since 88. I now just show it off when someone asks WTH is that. I carry my Chris Reeve Pacific everywhere I am spending some time under the stars now days and couldn't be happier.
wow. kershaw's really outdone themselves. really loving a lot of their designs this year. also gonna be keeping an eye out for the release of the new zt006
Been running a $30 Lightning fireball OTF for a few years ... I'm sure the nicer materials are great, but I can buy like 8 of them for the livewire price
No offense to anyone but I would appreciate you mentioning where each reviewed knife is made. I have several Kershaw knives but I admittedly buy strictly made in USA.
It didn't take too long to find it. I'm glad that it was at the end I would have been happier had it been at the start. The description that I read after a Google search was quite misleading. I have a lot of Kershaw knives, I like them. I did not queue up this review to watch the review of the OTF.
I did not expect to leave this video wanting some Kershaws. I carry a UTX-85 as my edc, and i think that Livewire would actually be an upgrade to it. And I can already tell I'm going to love that Covalent.
@Chris Carter Not no, but hell no lmfao. They're uglier, chunkier, and cost more than the UTX-85. The livewire here is going in the complete opposite direction. Looks better, and costs less, and seems like it might be a little slimmer than my edc. And the live wire pocket clip is a breath of fresh air in a world of ugly OTF clips and glass breakers.
I've had the Chill flipper for years with a little bit of serration which is perfect for cutting rope and such, perfect carry knife for me. The new ones don't have the serrations? which I like to have, luckily I bought a few spares. I was just gifted a microtech OTF and it is definitely cool, but yes that button is stiff to deploy but fine once you get used to it.
I got the launch 1, launch 4 and launch 10. The launch 1 used to get a lot of work,but the other two were just box cutters. Replaced the Kershaws with Microtech ultratech and exocet.
I want the Kershaw 1776 link back that was my first US made kershaw and I still have it after 5 years of hard use it’s the apple I my eye. It’s the tanto blackwash grey handle variant.
Love Kershaw. I have the entire launch series. Won't say which but not long ago at all one of my heavier launch series knives got washed as it was still attached to my pants back pockets. That knife came apart in so many pieces. I was beyond disappointed. As an experiment I also washed one of my CRKTs. Won't say which. Sparkled and performed like new. I love this OTF but would I place my life in it's hands????? Please give Joe X here on TH-cam a few of these. His knife destruction test are legendary.
My favorite knife is a Kershaw. I did not see it here. It is a multi-tool type with screwdriver inserts to a quarter inch socket, and a really nice (1920 select fire multi-function). It stays sharp, and I use it just about daily. For $60, it is a very good knife/tool.
Hey Jim, how about doing something really cool and completely unexpected and re- release the Tilt? Best looking knife ya'll ever put out and it wound up being a safe queen for a bunch of multi order knife snobs.
Just ordered the kershaw livewire! This will be my first OTF. My first auto knife was a kershaw breakout! It's still my all time favorite knife, but I suspect the livewire will be my new favorite.
@@brycehuennekens370 2 months for me, I emailed them and got a reply back today stating that they've been receiving small batches but not enough to fulfill ordered. Nothing we can do but wait since there's no way to cancel.
I really like the contouring of the livewire’s handle. It is one of the more unique looking out the fronts, doesn’t look like a Microtech rip off. Good job Kershaw!
I'm not trying to tell you how to do videos, but it would be nice to see the knife be opened, and if you would clarify if it was an assisted opening one or not. You did say on a couple of them, but not all.
Two I'm waiting to actually be available are the Launch 15 and Livewire. Also interested in the Frontrunning, Radar, Flyby and Strata Cleaver. I'll still get the automatics first. I have several of the Launch lineup already. So getting the latest plus the first Kershaw OTF is an easy decision.
Still wish they would bring back the kershaw skyline. 2.4 oz, super thin, big functional blade for the weight and size, nice index finger slot that won't ever let you chop your own fingers off. Still the best edc ever. My benchmade 940 just gathers dust in my closet because the kershaw skyline is way better. Wish you guys would mention weight in these videos
Pocket clip on the hinge side works best for quick draw blade in my opinion only complaint with the new knives. My old ken onion’s are always in both pockets at the ready!
Kershaw always top notch quality and designs. would think they've moved most off 8cr to D2 minimum. crkt has done so. Love a hollow grind. Lateral in D2 please
I would buy more Kershaw if they were less assisted and less 8cr. Most of us aren't fans of spring assisted knives and even less of us are fans of 8cr steel. At least make d2 to standard steel. Literally anything better than 8cr and you'll get more people interested
I love all of my Kershaw knives. Keep them coming, gentlemen.
Getting the Livewire black next month. Big fan of Kershaw knives
Could you add time stamps to the videos?? So many knives, I want to be able to jump back to the ones that catch my eye -
We are on it! - Ben G
+100
Good idea.
My Blur is 5 years old and still fires like new. It's my edc, and my favorite.
I just got my kershaw livewire otf with the magnacut blade and I love it
How are you liking the knife action? How are you liking the magnacut blade?
@@tyarnold4088very very good!!!
Wow, nice lineup from Kershaw this year! That OTF looks amazing.
why would u spend that much when u could get when u could get a "Microtech" for that? They are so far behind!
Kershaw is my favorite knife company. Especially love their made in usa ones. I edc a od green link in 20cv

My favorite Kershaw is the blur tanto
I really appreciate kershaw keeping their prices the same, although I wish they made more premium knives besides ZT. Would love to see some premium steels and materials in the future
They do. Made in USA kershaw link 20cv is my favorite edc. Prefer it over spyderco manix 2 lw in spy27.

Yes. They have that steel as a option for many of their knives.
Fav Kershaw was the random task 2 my go to knife for a long time still carry it from time to time now

Two I'm waiting to actually be available are the Launch 15 and Livewire. Also interested in the Frontrunning, Radar, Flyby and Strata Cleaver. I'll still get the automatics first. I have several of the Launch lineup already. So getting the latest plus the first Kershaw OTF is an easy decision.
Very nice line of Kershaws, and great pricing. Clean looking knives! Thank you, J
Still wish they would bring back the kershaw skyline. 2.4 oz, super thin, big functional blade for the weight and size, nice index finger slot that won't ever let you chop your own fingers off. Still the best edc ever. My benchmade 940 just gathers dust in my closet because the kershaw skyline is way better. Wish you guys would mention weight in these videos
Any chance of return of the JYD love that knife but someone I worked with needed it more than I did.
Wow that guy has one of the best jobs ever
Why no price on the fixed blade ? Did I miss It ?
I've been looking for my first crossbar! Sog terminus is the only other solid buy for 60 bucks. Looking forward to the duralock
Just give me a Oh-so Sweet. Best Kershaw blade ever.
Kershaw - вы красавцы !!!
Really like the magnacut and 3v fixed. Might pick one up
Hey Kershaw. The button is a lousy design on the Launch 16. I had to add a drop of JB Weld on top of the button to make it work.
Pocket clip on the hinge side works best for quick draw blade in my opinion only complaint with the new knives. My old ken onion’s are always in both pockets at the ready!
Kershaw has been always top 3 when it comes to ergomic handles/grip on the knives. They kill it every time
when will these be available on your website? love the iridium!
They should be here this week! -George
Looks like most already dropped. go to the coming soon tab and select Kershaw.
@@bigmikeg84 thanks for the heads up. looks like they are still "preorder" though is why i was asking
Will kershaw offer other blade styles for the livewire? Would love to have a tanto blade
Kershaw always top notch quality and designs. would think they've moved most off 8cr to D2 minimum. crkt has done so.
Love a hollow grind. Lateral in D2 please
Love kershaw except the pocket clips
Thanks Kershaw, for the "Lefty" love! :D
since I got a few Reate EXO, I retired my OTFs. Its the first knife in my pocket
I would buy more Kershaw if they were less assisted and less 8cr. Most of us aren't fans of spring assisted knives and even less of us are fans of 8cr steel. At least make d2 to standard steel. Literally anything better than 8cr and you'll get more people interested
Livewire's on order... Hoping they do a USA made bar lock next
Where can I find your Keyshaw ATF in 89118 ?
Will it accidentally cut holes in my pockets ?
I thought the steel was magnacut on the livewire OTF?
Have a Kershaw light year... gorgeous n cool name ...
What is the axe on the back wall?
