I just bought one with the money I saved on another purchase. I like the size, weight and blade shape as far as I can tell on a screen.

Anyone own one, they are cheap. Thought it would make a good flipper/fidget toy if nothing else.
 
Anything Kershaw is usually good to go.

With that being said, I have noticed the more recent Kershaws have a tendency to have lock stick. Not sure what's going on there.

Kershaw used to be nearly flawless, in my experience.

The method will be about the cheapest knife I have purchased, don't know how they even do it given Kershaw has a rep for good knives.

Place of manufacturer and steel type. Their 8CR13MOV will get shaving sharp, but don't expect it to hold the edge.

Kershaw's USA offerings are awesome. One of my favorite knives was a plain jain Kershaw Link with the aluminum scales. That was a steller knife.
I also had a Launch 6. Awesome auto, especially for the money.

My next brand phase might be Kershaw, the seem to have a huge and interesting range.
 
Funny you brought it up, the Method is my dad’s favorite knife and I was thinking about getting him a 3rd one for Father’s Day. He doesn’t use knives much but he carries it more than the 0095, 0393 and 0909 I bought him lol...
he loves the grip and the blade shape. plus they are some of the pointiest knives for the money. He rides his bike and exercises a lot too so the weight is a big plus. Never had any problem with lockstick, but it is a Chinese kershaw so you have to remember they won’t all be identical (some not as sharp, maybe uneven grinds, some lockup early, some later etc....:but for the money it’s an awesome knife!
