Howdy folks!
Haven't been too active lately. :(

I guess I got....content.
I didn't feel the need to buy anymore knives, since I had a few that I really liked.
But, I went shopping today, and I've been eyeing a Kershaw link lately. So I bought it.
Now, I have a CRK. And to be honest, again, I've been a bit ruined. Everything I touch with a blade on it gets compared to it.
So far, the only thing I have that is comparable is a ZT 0200.
But this Link, blows me away.

It came super sharp. A couple passes on my Sharpmaker made this sucker a lightsaber.
The blade is dead-center. Like perfect.
No bladeplay.
Early lockup.
Clean lines and good fit.
Good pocket clip.
Made in USA.
And the assist fires like a F1 car. Fast and powerful.

I've been avoiding Kershaw. It seems like they have taken stock in 8Cr13MOV, and my Leek literally fires its screws loose.

But they must have gotten their things together, because this $60 knife is comparable to my CRK. Amazing.

You guys liking yours as much as I already am?

I really like my two - I have one like yours and then the FRN version - both are outstanding knives, and the value just makes it all the better.

I've tried that to no avail. :(
Its off center too. I've tried 2 or 3 centering tricks, and I know I did it right because the same method worked on my ZT.
Its either centered or has bladeplay. But with a few openings, it gets both.
 
Link is a great knife for sure. I sometimes wish I hadn't given mine away as a gift, but it is better off with my bother-in-law who probably doesn't own another decent knife. I will probably get another sometime soon.
 
It's without a doubt the best knife I own for the money! I have the Al scaled drop point and can back up everything bladeboss said.

Love my Link! One of the best flippers once you take the torsion bar out.

I need to pick up some more when I get paid.

 
Love mine, saw that some people dont have the flag on the back. Anyone know whats up with that? Also, I only paid like $36, and its only $41 online. Amazing deal.

Like most knives with solid liners, I'd have rather paid a few dollars more and had them skeletonized. I drilled some holes in mine to shave some weight, but otherwise I really like mine.
 
The link is an amazing design, and materials used blow my mind with the price point. It's a nice enough knife to dress up with also.
