Ive been looking at several knives lately the Kershaw blur, Spyderco endura, and the Kershaw dimension. The blur and endura have been out for sometime and even tho Ive never handled one the is alot of info out there. But the new Dimension i havent heard much about at all???? I love me some Ti so im drawn to it but would like to know what owners of this knife have to say about it. So any info on how u like or dislike the Dimension is what Im looking for.......Thanks
 
Smaller and heavier than a Blur. Button lock is ok, no way to make a manual out of it so unless you like assisted knives ......
 
I've handled one and it feels good in hand, it was somewhat heavy for a titanium handled knife, but overall well designed and constructed. I'd rather have a S30V Blur for the same price though, blade steel is what makes a knife a pleasure to use, not the handle material. I'm more of a user than a collector though, if you just have a thing for titanium handles and don't use the knife for cutting regularly, I'm not aware of any knives with full titanium handles in the same budget that aren't made in China with the same 8cr13mov blade steel.
 
I've been looking at this one, too. How's the lockup? The only button lock I've had so far was a low-end Boker (Magnum) that had a good amount of up-down in the mechanism. Kind of scared me away from button locks, even though I recognize that the play is probably a direct result of the price.
 
Mine is rock solid lockup. Havent used it other than to flip is so dont know if it stays that way
 
I got one last week,cool little knife,one thing, when you close it,it makes alot of noise from the assisted spring. for the 1st few days it sounded like glass grinding when you would close it. now after a few days of opening & closing,it makes more of a squeek sound when you close it.its otherwise well made,and feels good in the hand.has same thumb lugs as the echelon,which are see through. pretty cool nice stonewashed blade,too. locks up tight no play.button lock works well,sticks out from handle a bit when locked.
 
I reviewed this a few months ago, I was lucky enough to get one of the first run. great little knife:-) Of course mine is pimped out a bit...
