First Look - Kershaw Knockout

[Thomas W]

Another little tease prior to SHOT.

The Kershaw Knockout Proto:

USA Made, A/O, “Sub-Frame Lock®”, Aluminum Frame, 14C28N (3 1/4"), Quad carry, MSRP $99.95

Now I would buy that knife. Is this avail. yet and if not when? Or you can just do us both a favor and send me the proto to test! Keepem sharp

 

[Thomas W]

The Sub-Frame Lock is made of steel, while the frame is aluminum.

That looks great....count me in

I would love to see more of the Blur thumb studs used....Hint Hint

Some comparative shots with a ZT 0551:

No ETA at this time.

I like!

I just wonder how the lock is integrated into the entire frame though.

 

[effer]

Nnice and functional. IMHO, handle is like a cross between Junkyard dog and ZT0200, and looks very comfy.
If frame and lockbar were the same color it probably would look even better.

Noooo.... those angled studs are terrible. There have been quite a few Kershaw knives I have not bought because of the angled studs, including the very pricey Acies.

The Acies isn't a Kershaw...

Another awesome lookin blade!! I like the Sub Frame lock, very intriguing idea... Also Vlur style ramped thumb studs

 

[Thomas W]

Nice !

Yea, no I'm not seeing much with similarities with either design. Could be me though.

 

[jkulysses]

Wow this is also added to my growing list of knives!!!! In the last two days I've added 4 Kershaws to the list you guys are killing me & how the hell am I supposed to support my gun addiction & my knife addiction!!

Just to make sure I get it (because I'm not sure I do), a 'sub-frame lock' is where part of the frame/handle is the lock bar (same as a standard RIL), but the end of the lock bar is a different material than the rest of the frame? I.e., the locking half of the handle isn't a single piece

I love that the handle is aluminum (I'm hoping that means it's light for its size) and that it has that deep carry clip!

 

[L.J.Tibbs]

I dig it! Sub frame lock looks like a pretty cool idea. Also love the lowrider pocket clip!

Sometimes knives have odd names. This one, however, is very, very appropriately named. At MSRP of $100, as well!
