Kershaw G-10 Offset

Kershaws are nice, but to put two blade grinds on like that is almost custom work - and $300 would be cheap.

Powder metallurgy is a new technique, and should show more cost reduction than a full on custom grind. MSRP is not the best price comparison when "street" retail will be a $100 less, so looking at $189-$225, that blade grind is a bargain.

In the past, some makers would have simply cast the blade and finished it as the least cost method, which should make some of those exotic ground blades and boot knife collectors very queasy - but they'll never know, because they don't stress their bladeware. Casting is not known for producing flexible blades.

PM - that's a different thing, and the track record so far is good. Kershaw wouldn't have picked it without a lot of thought.
 
The Offset blade is great. It holds an edge better then most company's 440C. I like the two edge geometries on one blade.
 
obviously i love this knife. it will cut things alot diferently than what other blades will because of its shape. great in the kitchen from what i have heard.
 
I had the Aluminum Handled version. Great knife, but too heavy for an EDC. I hope that the g-10 version would be lighter.
