Kershaw Blitz

[ASBOB]

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of Kershaw knives. Now, before I fall victim to a determined assault, let me be clear: I am completely convinced of their top quality, how much of a value they are for the money, how good their cs is. I just don't happen to like their styles at all, just as some folks find Spydercos distasteful. I got a Skyline to try the brand out, and found that, while blissfully sharp, it was too much of a gentleman's knife for me, too small, even for my hands, which are tiny.

I just got a Blitz, however, and think it's terrific. The ergos are fantastic, and the G-10 is rippled, so it has superb traction. The blade, of course, is very sharp.

Yet, I haven't heard much on these forums on this knife. Anyone else try it? What do you thinlk?

I've been carrying one since they came out. (Now called the Nerve).
The 8CR13 steel gets very sharp and holds much longer than I expected (same steel type that Spyderco's Chinese production uses)

The handle sold me on the knife. 3D machined G-10 on a $40 MSRP knife? That's just crazy talk.
Fits perfect in the hand with the slight roundness it has.
It feels really solid but is still lightweight. 3.8oz. Steel Leek is 3.0 and a Blur is 4.0 for comparison.

I've touched it up a couple of times with a ceramic stick and it's good as new again.
It's actually been kind fun using a thumb lug again.

Glad you like it.

Bought one off of EBay lasts week. Great little knife. A close second to my Barrage. Lightweight, nice blade profile, a lot of knife for under $30. Wish the pocket clip was black, but I"m nitpicking. Great EDC knife. I also like the top mounted opener.
