Kershaw Buyer's Guide 2024 | Blade HQ

[@jayr526]

The cryo 1 started it all for me. It was the most expensive knife that I had ever I purchased. Ithought that $30 was outrageous. The Bel Air that I bought was only $100 more. When I got around to purchasing a live wire I will actually have all of the knives that you spoke of.

[@gonerydin4225]

I must have 50 Kershaw knives. Haven't counted them in a while. Skyline is still one of my favs.

[@sayeager5559]

A Leek was my first knife and still my favorite.

[@brandonlapine5174]

I carried the cryo for soo many years and I love it

[@joshuaporter7129]

Just picked one up last night as an EDC, I'm very happy with it.

[@ok1mon]

I got a Livewire from you at the end of January, and I am super impressed: for 200 and change for a nice, smooth operating OTF with great steel, I couldn't be happier.

[@BladeHQ]

Love to hear it!

[@_jay206_]

I just bought a livewire on the BladeHQ website yesterday. I got the double edge blade one for 230.

[@scarboi7923]

I carry the CQC-6K, little heavy but it’s what I train with (the -6T trainer), and love the Emerson Wave on it!

[@piela650]

Same, I'm so in love with the wave that when I carry all my other knives, I sometimes forget and am a bit disappointed when I find the blade hasn't already deployed coming out of my pocket.

[@OffTheGrid1982]

I love my new all black Iridium. Excellent weight and feel.

[@TheWinger1008]

Just received my Launch 8 this week. Already my top 3 go-to EDC. Love the design and feel.

[@a29s12]

I remember buying my launch 1 for 89 bucks. I still have it and it's still one of my favorite knives. How times have changed...

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Launch 8 is a masterpiece

[@user-wy1dl2me2p]

Kershaw excellent knives .pricing is excellent

[@keepout7811]

The blur thumb studs absolutely chew your thumb up

[@JimmyCoker-y8i]

I like the Kershaw Brawler, for the tanto blade

[@n.h6001]

I carried a brawler for my first 4 years as a police officer. Cut through seatbelts, ropes, clothing, rubber… it was awesome. I still have it, just usually carry my benchmade barrage now instead, the edge retention is a little better .

[@whynot-lv8dt]

The first knife that I bought for myself was the launch 11, and I have absolutely loved it. I'm looking to get a new knife soon though, and I'm having trouble deciding between the launch 8, which I absolutely love, or the Bel Air which comes with a Magnacut blade.

[@cbolton81]

The Blur, Iridium, Launch 1, and Livewire are the best knives

[@jayr526]

I have all of their out house designs that you showed!

[@leowild2134]

Hmm the "link" opens a new dimension in germany! Crazy §42a conformed slipjoint. Thanks for the review.

[@cjturner9688]

i started buying kershaw when i was 18 i will say i only have 3 with no Blade play in the lock position. i really think they did good with the leek and the iridium. but the rest of the knives couls be better

[@WheatCitySole]

If they ever made a Blur without the Trac-Tec I’d be all over that. Something a bit more refined or just straight up full aluminum scales. It’s a great knife. My first folder way back when.

[@kushviper]

I have the AM4. Love the size and blade shape but there’s been tons of blade play and some rattling inside the knife since about a month of use.

[@fabiogasperini4809]

I noticed on your website, that the blade thickness of the Bel Air is 0.89". It must be a small axe.

[@rodricktrinidad2928]

I bought the Iridium excited that Kershaw finally had a good lock bar knife with aluminum handles, but the more I carry, the more I wash the handles had some real texture and not the matte finish. I really hope someone makes some aftermarket scales for it or something but it's unfortunately slippery of your hands are wet or just your natural oils or if your hands are clammy.

[@unfi6798]

What knife does Nick Kershaw carry.? Love the Dune. Great show matey. So what with the Pinky.? Have you been messing around with Dallas hammering in the back office.?! Stay true from Australia.

[@lobo524]

Fond of the old 3000, Westin, Livewire & Iridium.

[@brianyonts5745]

Is the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 tanto coming back out if so I would like to be a salt series version in lc200n or MagnaCut steel.

[@RR-pv4mc]

WHEN WILL YOU DO THE SPYDERCO SMOCK IN GREEN AND M4 AGAIN???

[@seanjones2623]

Anyone seen the true knife MAAR? Found it at a local gun shop. Stone washed black sheep’s foot/cleaver d2steel blade black g10 scales. Very similar in size to the kizer sheepdog xl. Definitely worth a look. A diamond in the rough. Definitely a tank of a knife.

[@raphdt5790]

Bring back the CQC 10 and 11 or something larger, like a liner lock roadhouse.

[@geowason]

I note that you have your finger taped up but there’s no tape when you’re showing the knife clips

[@BladeHQ]

Yeah, I had Theo record the b-roll for me. My finger was not feeling up for it! -George

[@richardd.9223]

Next time super glue the cut😂​@@BladeHQ

[@cmen6895]

Just so yall know, “military grade” does *NOT* mean that something is good.

[@ben9and1-3rd]

👍🍻

[@chiroxxxrt]

2:21 the blade on that Launch 8 looks dangerous af

[@larrylacostjr.2075]

The only objection I have to Kershaw is that I refuse to buy any of their knives that are made in China. Look at the blade area next to the handle’s finger stop, it’ll say China on one side of the knife (see first knife knife demo’d in this video as a reference… barely see it, but it’s next to his right index finger when he grips it with his right hand as he flips the other side (pocket clip side)). They do have a portion of their knives that are made in the United States but, once again, I’m not going to pay for something they pawn off overseas. Like their DECISION to make cheap knives with Chinese low quality metals, I think everybody should have the understanding that we the people should also make our personal DECISION to buy “quality” from Kershaw; which they do with their American knives.

[@jaxuga]

Whatever floats your boat. I can appreciate a company that looks out for all the customers from all different walks of life. Not everybody can afford to buy those American made knives so it's nice they look out for their customers and make cheaper knives that will still get the job done. Heck pretty much every knife that Bladehq puts on their website has a country of origin in the description. So their customers can be well informed on what they are buying. Go troll somewhere else.

[@joeburr7537]

I guarantee you have things in your home that are made in China you don't even know. 😅

[@RealR.J.]

Just picked up the Iridium with M390 in carbon fiber that was made in china and it’s the best Kershaw I’ve handled. It’s much higher quality than my fellow carbon fiber leek and carbon fiber skyline. The tolerances on the crossbar lock are tighter than any Benchmade I’ve handled, and I’m a fanboy of that brand. Tightest lockup and smoothest action I’ve experienced on this type of knife. I highly recommend consumers don’t allow themselves to be blinded by inequitable biases and enjoying all the excellent models they offer. Kershaw has been crushing it all around recently!

[@wattsmichaele]

Grow up boomer

[@Observer413]

>chinese low quality materials its an old meme that 'made in china' means bad quality. This doesnt apply so easily to knives anymore. You have a lot of usual cheap stuff that small companies rebrand as their own, but calling the big knife companies from there bad is silly or malicious. Claiming a knife is bad because mUh cHiNa in current times points to speakers lack of experience or politically biased buying tendencies. As they say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs. Thats how you get overpriced aus8 linerlock knives that rely on 'uSa mAdE' to justify the pricetag, which is even further exarcebated if you happen to buy USA brands in europe(additional costs of shipping, customs and taxes).

[@pdongy]

Do you really have to tease us with automatic knives when the majority of the country can't even buy them?

[@godsentkings]

Hey this country was made by and for freedom, not our fault you choose to stay there😂

[@pdongy]

@godsentkings what country are you referring to? They're only legal in like three states. When you weigh the pros and cons, I will definitely stay in the state that I am in and not deal with all the other problems lol

[@godsentkings]

@@pdongy only one comes to mind when you talk about freedom. Idk about all these idiots lying down and giving away their rights.

[@private_ventures2592]

​@@pdongy if you can't buy them in your state, I'd make sure that everyone you know votes in their best interest. Make sure they're educated on why auto knives aren't any more dangerous than a kitchen knife.
