Kershaw OD-2

[air kershaw]

So the main differences between the OD-1 and OD-2 are different steel(sandvik 14c28n and 8cr13mov), different handle material(G-10 and Glass filled nylon),different locks(frame and liner) and the OD-2 has a shorter overall length. both still made in the USA:thumbup:

How about checking out Kershaw's website for details on the OD-2...

Sheesh! Next you'll be asking me to read the @#%&^ manual! It's a sad day when you can't depend on the word of a salesman. Reckon I'll wait 'til I get one to handle before I set my opinion meter.

Here's the materials:
8Cr13Mov
Liner Lock
Polyamide Handles
Od Flipper System

Basically a little Od-1 with a liner instead of frame lock.

Made in China, that's why it's only $25.

I thought the Kershaw website had a typo. The Kershaw website has the OD-2 as Made in USA but the choice of steel threw me.

If I remember right my Kershaw catalog said it was made in China, but that was printed awhile ago so things could have changed since I got my catalog in March or April.
Anybody with solid info please correct me, I'd prefer it to be made in USA, but for some reason I remember China.

Not quite. The OD-2 uses 8CR13MOV (a chinese steel), the OD-1 uses Sandvik 14C28N. I like the Sandvik, don't know much about the other

And if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle...
They're basically the same thing, not carbon copies, but same proportions, blade shape, and opening system.
