I just want you guys to know I love all of these designs. The Launch 19 is my favorite because it kinda reminds me of a Para 3, while of course being it's own thing obviously. I've always wanted an automatic knife with a flat grind that fits the same role as the Para 3 and the launch 19 is that for me. The Launch 18 was my favorite until today, and I live that knife dearly. The Bel Air is also excellent. We needed a Sheepsfoot/ reverse tanto bugout or Deka style crossbar lock EDC folder. And with magnacut? Instant buy. The Wharf is excellently priced and my favorite of the budget releases. And when I get a Livewire it will be hard not to go for the CF version you just released

I have always been a fan of Kershaw especially because it was the brand that first got me into knives. I hope to see more unassisted USA made knives from Kershaw this year. Especially seeing ZT hasn’t been releasing many new models.

@@BayouBandit6they've talked about this before: when COVID hit they had to make hard decisions about their US production so they focused on best sellers and easy to assemble knives. It's the same reason we saw ZT fall off. Sadly, it doesn't sound like any of the 86'd models are coming back. The good news is that we're still seeing so many new and classic USA made models

The Bel-Air looks hot. I'd love to see Kershaw fill in some more of the space in the market that's been left open by Benchmade going insane with their prices.
@joeftan7 ай бұрын
💯 agree. I’ve never thought my Benchmade knives were a notable step up from Kershaw’s US made knives, and now there is a huge opportunity for Kershaw to really step up their US made lineup of manual knives. It could be Kershaw vs Spyderco in the near future. I don’t think Kersaw would eat into ZT either.

Bel-Air is my fav for sure, I'll be looking for that one right away. When are we gonna see some upgraded materials on some of these new models? Magnacut is the obvious choice these days, but even a more 'run of the mill' super steel from years gone by like S30V would add a lot of appeal without jacking up the price too much. I'm thinking the Layup or the Scour could use the blade steel upgrade treatment, imho. Great video all around!
