First Look - Kershaw Piston

[KeepmSharp]

really liking the new designs, thanks for the photos thomas!

I also must say, I like how KAI does their pivots.

 

[mobenzowner]

That one will be a winner!

Love the design. Love the large, deeper belly blade, aluminium scales, great blade length to frame length ratio (they look almost equal!). Looks as good as the Knockout. I'll definitely get one.

Thanks for sharing. Assuming you are not looking for only positive feedback, this one looks less appealing to me than the echelon. Seems a bit generic.

Reminds me of a walter brend folder,at a much more reasonable price, & nicer flow. real cool.I think kershaw currently has the most innovative designs,as well as reasonable cost & wide selection of steels. i dont know how you do it !

Rather suspiciously like the Combative Edge M1.

Rather suspiciously?

 

[DITCH]

In appearance. That's not to say copyrights were violated. Just reminded me of the M1, and I wonder if that's where the design might have been influenced from.
My .02.

I couldn't for the life of me remember the designer's name, but thanks to your post, I now know.

The blade profile indeed reminds me of Walter Brend's work.

Wow, it almost looks like the blade is longer than the handle.

I like it....little bit of a throwback influence, without pointing to ANY one maker...certainly not Brend.

Would like to see some sort of jimping on the spine where the thumb would go, and am very much looking forward to seeing these at SHOT!

Best Regards,

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the previews, I like all three. Will Kershaw be releasing any new fixed blades? I thought I heard about a fixed Skyline last year.

Rather suspiciously like the Combative Edge M1.

Take a closer look. The grinds are different....there is no recurved blade on the Piston. The Piston is a flipper, the M1 isn't.....no thumbstuds on the Piston etc. Nice try though.

...I think I need to stop looking at these first-look posts. It's making me count money!

Oh but I'm definitely picking this and the Knockout when it comes out.

 

[iacchus]

I keep coming back to stare at those photos.
I really like the all flipper/no thumbstud design. I generally do not like AO, but I can see how it fits here.
The blade though, wow. Stunning.
Great job, Kershaw!
Thanks for showing it off to us so early.

[EricV]
