I just got a Kershaw link, the one with AL scales and a stonewashed drop point blade. Right around 40.00. *I haven't hade time to do much of anything but fondle it yet but so far I love it. The fit and finish are better than I've seen on some knives costing 3 and 4 times as much. The grey scales and blackwashed blade look very classy. How will it look a year from now? Size wise it's *almost identical to*my ZT 0770 CF but quite a bit heavier. *I'll give it some time and see how I like it after some use but if I had to guess I'd say this may turn out to be a real winner for Kershaw!*
**Anyone got some miles on one yet? Please share.

I haven't had the chance to pick one up yet, but I really like how they look! Especially the aluminum ones :thumbup:

I'm sure the blackwash finish will hold up nicely. As for the scales, who knows haha. Post some pics when you get the chance.
 
I have been carrying one for a couple of weeks. The scales definitely show a little wear but all in all it is holding up well. Very very good knife for the money!
 
I have the tanto blade Link ordered since January,still waiting. I have the Camber, if you don't own one do yourself a favor and get one, you will not be disappointed. It is almost the perfect flipper pocket knife.
 
I figured the ano would wear off with time but that's fine, just adds character!

It is a cool looking knife. Has anybody de-assisted one of these yet? Detent?
 
Haven't de-assisted mine and won't. Mine has a pretty strong detent but nothing that bothers me. I'm really looking forward to putting some miles on it. I still can't get over the value.

Hell of a knife for the money, and made in the USA. Pretty awesome.
 
I got one of the aluminum handled ones as well. It is a great knife. I also drew immediate comparisons to the Camber and 0770. The full steel liners on the Link are the reason it is a bit heavier than the Camber or 0770 (which are linerless aluminum on one side and an inset liner lock in aluminum on the other).

The Link definitely has a lot going for it. Great design, excellent construction, and made in the USA at a price point competitive with many imports. I haven't put a lot of miles on mine yet. It's only gotten a couple of days of carry (too many knives, too little time).
 
Here's a pic of mine that I picked up from the forum. Still like new because I haven't carried it much, but I would echo what others have said about the build quality.
