Kershaw Iridium review - Does it meet the hype?

[@pvmelite4230]

So i bought this knife on sale for 45 bucks. At first was a great knife felt great action was good. I took it to work 1 time and some dirt got in the lock part and it became extremely hard to open and close

[@thecanadianedge1]

Wow! You got it at a good price. You can take it apart and clean it out well or try some pivot lubricant. I hope you are able to get it sorted out. Thanks for sharing and watching. Cheers

I just got one of these for $33 used and I love it. Great review!

[@thecanadianedge1]

Wow ! You got an amazing deal. That is great news. I hope it is a great knife for you. Thanks for sharing and watching and the positive words. Cheers

[@famasmaster2000]

I really like this knife. Good review my friend 👍

[@thecanadianedge1]

Thanks for the kind word and thanks for taking the time to watch. I like this knife as well. Cheers

I had to buy one and I really like it, but it's expensive for what you get at least in Canada. I think the hype is mostly from US buyers who get it for peanuts and are impressed as to how Kershaw has upped their game.

[@thecanadianedge1]

You could be right. I like mine as well but I wish it was less expensive. I am looking forward to seeing the mini Iridium. Thanks for commenting and watching.

Until recently I had been living and working in South Carolina, now back in Alberta and traveling back and fourth to SC. It blows my mind on cost difference of knives in the US as opposed to Canada even with the exchange rate. I have the iridium, it’s a great knife for my collection. I wish they would have done it with S45VN steel or even S30,S35, magnacut. D2 while a great budget steel is pretty bland in today’s knife market. Heck you know it’s bland when the gas station Chinese quality knives are using it now. Therefore the iridium is in my collection but my daily carry for the last six months has been the Benchmade Freek in CPM M4. Good video!

[@thecanadianedge1]

The Benchmade Freek is a nice knife. I agree with all you said and hopefully Kershaw will step up their quality if they are going to charge more. Are you able to bring knives back with you when you travel? I would have way too many knives if I was able to shop in the States. Thanks for sharing and watching. Cheers.

@@thecanadianedge1 most of my collection is sadly still in SC. Legally as far as bringing them back…… I’m not sure. I’ve looked into what is sold in Canada and mailed some to myself and so far haven’t had any issues other than it takes a fair amount of time to receive them due to customs. As for physically bringing them back….. I do not! My career depends on my ability to cross the border, so I don’t jeopardize that.

[@thecanadianedge1]

@@douglasfromalberta2456 yes, you definitely don’t want to jeopardize your career. I haven’t had to deal with customs but I hear they can be difficult if they want to be. I hope you are able to get the collection into Canada at some point. Enjoy them while you can. Thanks for sharing. Take care
