Kershaw knockout M390 thoughts

The Knockout is an amazing knife and a great design for sure.

I used it to whittle for just over an hour and found the edge ready for more and my hand was fine. And this was with the 14c28n.

With M390! Leveled up!
 
I think I’m going to order one. I haven’t owned a
Kershaw in a long time. And with M390 and only $99
I think it should make a great little EDC beater.

I am so sorry you have not gotten a response back. We got hit hard with international request on these and found 99% of them were fraudulent folks looking to use a stolen credit card. We got so sick of trying to weed through them that we just stopped replying to all of them. You would have been a casualty of all that mess. Although I did respond to a few this morning after being on vacation. If you have not heard back from me, please email me at scott@usamadeblade.com and put that you are CyberDog from Bladeforums. I will get you a shipping quote and get everything set up for you. Sorry again for the trouble!

Got mine today.
The blue is darker than in photos. Thats not a bad thing.
I gotta say its not as sharp out of the box as I would have hoped. My dividend in M390 was,
its OK though ill touch it up.
Its bigger than I thought, but I have had the dividend on me a lot lately.

The sticker is a nice touch, whitty.
 
Kershaw is inconsistent with knife sharpening, it can range from barely cutting paper to hair shaving.

I have one question about Knockout M390; I read this comment in this forum somewhere:

"You can heat treat M390 with corrosion and wear resistance in mind or with toughness and wear resistance in mind. Both would have the same hardness but completely different properties."

And my question is which way does this M390 lean to? Probably no one knows, but we can guess, can't we?

We just recently got our second shipment on them and the blue on the Blackwash models is definitely darker. I am sorry it was not as sharp as you would like. If you want to swap it out we will be happy to take care of it all for you. Just shoot me an email to scott@usamadeblade.com
 
Just ordered a stonewashed knife. I am SUPER excited about this. Glad someone finally did a sprint on this frame with a bitchin' steel.
 
Whitty, not an issue at all! It’s by no means dull, just not shaving sharp.
Thanks for the offer though!
Customer service like yours is a real bonus.
 
This thread cost me $100... :D I wasn't going to miss out on this run! :p

And though it goes without saying, Whitty rocks!!! :thumbsup:
 
Actually, this thread wound up causing me over $400 before it was all said and done... :cool:

No, your eyes don't deceive, the handle on the satin blade is a fair bit darker. Not sure which I like better.
 
Yea I just bought one of the American flag handle ones I love the knife except the assist if it didn’t have that it would better in my opinion
