This review of the Kershaw Piston 1860 by Nutnfancy highlights its exceptional value and performance for a USA-made knife, priced around $60. Nutnfancy, an experienced reviewer, enthusiastically praises its tactical and EDC capabilities, comfortable ergonomics, and robust 14C28N steel blade. The Piston is compared favorably to other 'Hall of Fame' blades, including the similar Kershaw Knockout, offering a compelling option for knife enthusiasts.

The Kershaw Knockout 1870 is praised as a near-perfect EDC knife, excelling in utility tasks with its 14C28N steel blade and thin, lightweight aluminum handle. While its SpeedSafe opening and sub-frame lock are robust, the handle's slickness is a noted drawback, though easily remedied with grip tape. Positioned as a high-value, USA-made option around $65, it competes well against models like the Kershaw Blur and Spyderco Tenacious.

The Zero Tolerance 0350 is a high-quality knife with excellent build and S30V steel, but its 5.8 oz weight makes it too heavy for comfortable EDC. The Ken Onion organic blade shape is difficult to sharpen, and the handle is short for larger hands. While durable, it falls into a niche, being too heavy for EDC and too compact for a dedicated tactical role.

This video review by Nutnfancy focuses on the Kershaw Asshead (Asset) 1930, a budget-friendly Persian-style knife. The reviewer highlights its attractive design, sharp 8Cr13Mov blade, and fast flipper deployment powered by Kershaw's SpeedSafe mechanism. Despite its 4.2-ounce weight and lack of jimping, making it less ideal for heavy EDC for the reviewer, it's praised as a stylish and affordable utility blade, especially at its $20 price point. The review touches on its Chinese manufacturing and Zytel liners contributing to its cost-effectiveness. Overall, it's presented as a good value proposition.

This video review focuses on the Kershaw Tremor folding knife, highlighting its exceptional value for the price. The reviewer praises the knife's large, hollow-ground 8Cr13Mov blade with a stonewashed finish, noting its sharpness and edge retention. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism is effective, providing fast deployment via the flipper tang. While the G10 handle scales offer adequate comfort and the clip is a favorite, the lack of jimping is identified as a significant drawback, especially for tactical use. The reviewer suggests a modification with skateboard tape to improve grip. Despite its weight and lack of ideal EDC ergonomics for him, the reviewer finds the knife's size, finishing, speed, and overall value highly attractive.

This review assesses the Kershaw Volt 2 (model 3650) as a highly valuable EDC folding knife under $40. The analysis covers its utility-focused design, 8Cr13MoV steel blade with good factory sharpness, SpeedSafe assisted opening, and comfortable FRN handle. Nutnfancy highlights its excellent price-to-performance ratio, making it an ideal user knife or gift.

This video provides a review of the Kershaw "Leek" knife, highlighting its suitability for everyday carry in urban and suburban environments. The review emphasizes the knife's quality and the practicality of its SpeedSafe mechanism, which facilitates easy one-handed operation. The presenter, Sensible Survival, aims to showcase this Ken Onion design as a valuable tool.

The Kershaw Oso Sweet (1830) is a budget-friendly EDC folding knife praised for its value and surprisingly good grip from its Zytel handle. It features a reliable SpeedSafe assisted opening system and an AUS-6 steel blade that is easy to sharpen, making it a solid choice for everyday carry tasks. While not a premium option, its performance and low price point make it a standout in the budget knife market.

The Kershaw Scallion 1620 is presented as a high-quality, USA-made EDC knife with a Ken Onion design. It features a 420HC blade with a recurve shape and SpeedSafe assisted opening, secured by a liner lock. While praised for its fit and finish, the recurve blade is noted as harder to sharpen, and the pocket clip is considered oversized for its size.

The Kershaw Leek, particularly the 1660OLBLK model, is a popular, thin, and lightweight assisted-opening EDC knife. While excellent for light-duty tasks, its delicate tip makes it unsuitable for heavy-duty use. Newer models with Sandvik 13C26 steel offer improved performance over older 420 stainless versions. Various handle materials and blade steels are available, impacting weight and lock type.
