How can a user go about getting feedback to the Kershaw design team? Because I see a lot of the same design mistakes being made over and over again. Like releasing a pocket clip that makes the knife get stuck in the pocket.
Am I the only one that would love to see kc and dca (from knife center) sit down and talk knives? I think it would be an awesome show. Just them sitting and talking about some of there favorite knives. I know it won't happen but it would be epic
I have a few. Lost my favourite one, the amphibian, this summer. I carry it as a neck-knife, for cougar protection, and when i looked down, it was no longer in the sheath. I know the rough area it's in, but on several hikes back in and searching, i couldn't spot it. Will search more when winter is over.
Is the black Livewire and Carbon fiber version the exact same size? The carbon fiber one looked slightly bigger in this video compared to the regular black one
So many awesome designs for 2024, but the only one I'd be interested in actually spending pennies on would be the belair due to its having thumbstuds, which stands it out from the rest and provides my minimum requirements. Outstanding showcase.
I have counted on kershaw for my work knifes for as long as i can remember. I get a new one every other year or so ,as i am hard on them. But the bel air. may be the last kershaw i need to buy for work.
I agree. I am totally turned off by framelocks. If you want one, go for it. To me, they are unacceptable, unappealing. Maybe the right liner lock, but never a frame lock.
The only time I found a frame lock somewhat appealing is when they have a scale on the back. If they're plain, bare metal, they look like someone forgot to finish building it. Hate that.
Kershaw seems to be moving the right direction, but all the folders look mostly the same. I know that the autos sell like hotcakes, but they need to give more love to their folders.
Most of these models look nice, but for the most part, they aren't designed with any purpose in mind other than to churn out new models. There's absolutely no focus on improving existing models. So in that way, Kershaw's models are just "disposable". Does the world really need 850 models from Kershaw? Also Kershaw doesn't test new models before release... otherwise they wouldn't release loop-over pocket clips such as on the Helitack and last seasons Covalent which can easily make the knife get stuck in the pocket.
Blades aren't the only important thing on a knife. In fact the handle is the most important thing. Smooth slick handle is a horrible thing to have on a knife. Ever have bloody hands trying to thrust a knife? Your hand WILL slip down the blade and cut your hand wide open. Think about it. COURSE thick handle will keep your hand secure on the knife.....
Always great to visit and chat, SMKW! Thanks for sharing this awesome lineup.

A full meeting of the knife guys and or a boxing match wither way we all get to be entertained lol
SMKW YOU GUYS ARE LEGENDS! REAL MEN BUY KERSHAW, REAL MEN BUY FROM SMKW!!! 👊
Thanks 👊
Kershaw Blur was my gateway into knives. Very good knife
The Blur is a great first knife!
Blur is a great knife still today.
Love Kershaw knives, have around 10 of them now.
Sounds like an awesome collection!
Sweet!

Dang, 2023 was just a tease with the bangers they showed off for 2024, and that's just the first drop! 🤯
Kershaw has some awesome knives this time around 👍
@@SMKWcom heck yeah! That Bel Air is a must-buy IMO. I'm gonna be the Fresh Prince of knives with that baby! 😆
Great show as always love that launch 19
🙌🙌🙌
MORE OPENING OPTIONS! KERSHAW PLEASE DO A TOP LINER LOCK WITH A FLIPPER, FRONT FLIPPER, AND DOUBLE STUDS! U COULD TAKE OVER GUYS...
Awesome lineup by Kershaw
💯

They are the same size but the weights are slightly different
The Kershaw sanctum is a great design I'm just frustrated that it's 8cr. Kershaw please make a D2 version of the sanctum.
Thanks for watching!
Kershaw makes a good product at an affordable price .
💯
Great job on the video that is some awesome looking knifes 👍
🙌🙌🙌
I know Kershaw has their 8cr dialed in but it would really be nice to see some new steels in their bread and butter budget line
Kershaw is often in the comments of videos so they can hear what the knife community suggest 👍
Scour looks like the Eris..which I think is one of the best values for the money!
Thanks for watching Stuart!
16:40 can someone explain to me what the point of “msrp” price if it’s gonna be sold at 165ish anyway?
That launch is beautiful
💯
i LOVE the Launch series but I haven't bought one yet. Might get one today. lol
The Launch series has a ton of different solid options!
Hello SMKW, hey TC thanks to all, good stuff for sure, thanks Kershaw... Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy
🙏😇👊
Thanks Randy!
Thanks for watching Randy! Stay warm

We are really digging the Bel Air!
What wears out on them?
@@sheltermonkey6065normal wear. Gets loose or loss of blade material/ tip snap. Normal stuff.
great video,,,,,,thanks
Thanks for watching!
Are these in stock in store yet?
They are on order and should be in store soon
There all nice, I like the Belair.
We are really digging it as well!
Nice lineups
💯
Nice lineup❤🎉
💯
Can’t wait to get one of those carbon fiber livewires!!
They are super sweet!
Magnacut Iridium please
That Bel Air with Magnacut steel for $156 is nice. I would prefer drop point blade but can't complain for the price magnacut steel nice.
We do dig MagnaCut!
Drop points are the best if you actually use your knife for more than larping.
Layup is about it. Wharf is fine. Still don't like frame locks.

I just ordered a Layup last night for edc and day trips fishing/hunting. We shall see
Benchmade has an assisted crossbar knife.
I’m liking the Bel-Air model. Good value and great looking 👀.
💯
Screw that axis lock I want that launch so bad❤❤
The Launch series is sweet!
Kershaw seems to be moving the right direction, but all the folders look mostly the same. I know that the autos sell like hotcakes, but they need to give more love to their folders.
We always get excited when new knives drop!
Make a Launch 11 with a 3.25 - 3.5" blade....
Oh my... my credit cards would beg "please not again".
Our credit cards really dislike us when new knives drop lol
I want the Bel Air so bad they are selling out everywhere.
Be sure to click the notify me when section and as soon as the restock you will receive an email
I hope to soon become the "Prince of Bel Air" 😁
My eyes are on the better bugou....I mean the bel air

I cant imagine what youd use most of these for. But i got the Layup for skinning bug and small game at home and camping, edc, gutting fish etc etc.
